Hi,
   I've only used Windows Media Player in the past. Since it is gone from W10 I'm looking for a replacement. All my music is MP3. I'd appreciate some help w/ the following:

Best way to play an album & clear it.
How to rip a CD.
How to Burn a CD.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Best way to play an album & clear it.
Right-click on the album and select 'play now'
To clear it, right-click anywhere in the 'now playing' pane and select List > Clear List

I suggest you take a look through the Wiki:  http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/MusicBee_Wiki
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Is Media Player completely gone from Windows 10? I thought it was just Media Center.
I still have it on my PC, but might be different for a clean install.

Thanks phred.

Zak,
    I thought that WMP was gone as it is a part of WMC. It might be available if you update to W10 as opposed to a clean install. Not 100% sure.

Windows Media Player is still in Windows 10, except if you are in a European country.
The "N" versions of Windows 10 released in those areas don't have WMP due to a EU court ruling that Microsoft was limiting consumers freedom of choice by pre-packing a media player with their operating system.

Windows Media Center is not available for Windows 10.

Windows Media Player will not play DVD's in Windows 10.
