Can no longer rip music using Media player

Hello James.
I request you to disable AVG and check if you are able to fix this issue.

You can disable AVG from the Advanced settings:
Open the AVG Program.
On the Options menu, click Advanced settings.
Select Temporarily disable AVG protection in the menu on the left side.
Click the Temporarily disable AVG protection button.
Choose how long you want the protection to be disabled and whether to disable the Firewall as well, and then click OK.

Please let us know the status when you have tried the suggestion.
Thank you.

Since putting AVG on my computer, the Windows Media Player no longer recognizes the hard drive I want to send music to. I can play music from that hard drive. When I go into the settings menu, I cannot bring up any destination to send music to. How do I designate a destination?
