Duplicate ripped songs

After I rip a cd to my computer, windows media player will show two of every
song that was just ripped. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

You need to supply more details of what you are doing and
what the exact result is.
Windows won't allow two files to have the same name, in
older versions you were prompted to over-write, now
it renames an identical file by adding (1).
If you see two entries for the same file which are named
*identically*, this implies it to be two views of the same/one file.
In what way/view does WMP list two entries for a song?
You're using WMP for playback, do you use WMP to rip
the tracks also, if so to what file type - WAV, wma?
Have you checked the properties of duplicated tracks -
are they each on seperate drives/partitions, and do they
have different file extensions - such as .mp3 and .wma?
Do you use third party software to rip - such as audiograbber
or CD-DA extractor, if so have you checked the configuration
settings for such tools, such tools set up their own temp folder
which should automatically clear once a rip is complete, but
check and you may find if any are still listed, they will have
something to differentiate them from the ripped tracks.
Or you may have configured to rip to two file formats -
CD-DA to one folder and wma to a seperate folder on a
seperate drive.
