I set things up for ripping an audio CD to my computer. It seemed to
go through the motions of ripping and the CD was ejected from the disc
drive as I specified. I looked for the results of the rip in the
specified folder and nothing was there!! Version 21H1 of Windows10.
What is going on?

You used Windows Media Player to rip? If so, I recommend the free
MusicBee available in the Windows Store. Not only is it not grossly
outdated like Windows Media Player is, but it allows you to rip in more
than a handful of formats AND securely since rips don't always succeed
as intended.

As for the music, it would either be in your personal music folder or
the public one.

Launch your Windows Music Player.

Click on Tools>Options> and select the Rip Music tab. The location of your
ripped CDs will be shown, there.

BTW, I tried Music Bee, and I wanted to like it, but I found it completely
unintelligible.

Sometimes, media you purchase, is protected by root kits.

Microsoft would honor any DRM it finds on the media,
including whatever some database tells it.

As an alternative, you can try EAC. When it rips, it
compares the checksum of the rip against the database,
to make sure your copy is not corrupted.

Here's another description.

https://www.videohelp.com/software/Exact-Audio-Copy

And this mentions some of the attempts to "protect" CD-DA.
There is even a rootkit in the story.

Again, it is in every possible way better than Windows Media Player. To
give you an idea, Windows Media Player doesn't even save ratings to a
M4A music file. It'll play it, but if you want to remember that it is a
5-star song and want to automatically make a 5-star playlist, you can't.
Besides, what would be the point of using a media player which can't
securely rip? Are we going to be stupid enough to believe that CDs don't
get scratched and therefore lead to corrupted music files? Are we going
to ignore than CD-readers can misread data because of a sudden movement
of the computer itself or because it couldn't calibrate itself properly?
What about CDs which, even without scratches, become unreadable simply
because too much time has passed and absolutely require to be read over
and over just to extract the data properly?
