Change the Mask in the Rip Dialog. You either have too much information in it (full file Path needs to stay under 255 characters) or you have no information in it resulting in duplicate filenames. The Rip dialog shows you what the filenames (Path) will be so you can see which issue it is.

If not, attach (upload to file share, add link in reply) screenshot of Rip dialog.

I am sorry, I can't figure it. For instance I don't know what you mean en how to do: "Change the Mask in the Rip Dialog". Where can I find that?

Tools > Rip Audio CD and then you set where you which location you want the ripped files saved. This is where you use the Mask to set the destination of the files.

Dear Lowlander,
You may excuse me. I don't see Tools. I shall write what I do.
I start Media Monkey. I put de cd in de PC. I wait. Then I get the possiblility tab Extra and than in the menu copy Audio CD.
There is some that not goes alright, but I don't know what.

Sounds like you're using the non-English version. Which is fine, it sounds like you're in the same place. In the Rip dialog you can set where the files should be saved. That is done by Mask.
