Tom, You can rip them in the version of Windows Media Player that I use, and I think it is the latest. You can rip from the "Now Playing" window which is accessed with CONTROL-3, or is probably the window that has focus if Windows Media Player starts automatically when you put in a CD. Some screen readers don't read the controls, though. Another approach is to go to the Tools and Options menu and choose the rip tab. You can choose which format you want them ripped to there, and you can also check a box that will rip a cd automatically when you start Windows Media Player.
Unfortunately, how a lot of this works depends upon your "autoplay" settings and even your screen reader, but it's worth exploring before you get another program. If your screen reader doesn't read the controls on the now playing window, NVDA should work.
