[ Source: ] If you have to use WMP [Windows Media Player], then just delete previous files from your library (highlight and press delete).
WMP deceitfully displays files as 'Ripped to the library', even if they failed to be ripped. I notice no 'Delete' button or option in WMP. Please see this screenshot:

I found that the check boxes to the left of the track number (column #) in Windows Media Player (12 at least) controls what will be ripped and in fact controls whether the Rip CD button is greyed out or not. Ignore the Rip Status column that says "ripped in library".
0Here are some steps you can take:
- Try deleting the playlist itself if you don't need it. If it shows up under Playlists, delete it there. Otherwise, on the right-hand side, delete "Unsaved Playlist"
- Use the "Delete" button on your keyboard, as Android Dev commented.
Open the run Command and type the following without quotes. This will reset Windows Media Player and hopefully clear any playlists that are stuck in there.
"msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerConfigurationDiagnostic"If none of the above work, you can also reset WMP following these instructions:
Don't do #s 3 or 4 if you have data in WMP you want to keep as it may wipe them. Note that if you just have other playlists those are easy to recreate. Wiping Windows Media Player doesn't delete any of the songs or content that it has access to.
Response to LePressentiment: Have you tried steps number 3 and 4 or are you not willing to reset WMP? And just to make sure, there are no playlists listed under the "Playlists" tab but you see an 'unnamed playlist' anyways?
2If you change the destination of Ripped files (in Organise-Options-Extract music, change the destination folder), the status of the files will be blank again.
Just found the solution to this. Insert the CD (if you have to, change it so CD does not eject automatically) I selected all the tracks that had "ripped to library" Go to Rip Settings at the top of the screen click top menu option RIP..Disk 2 etc.
