Or is it just another word for "copy from" thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretty much yes,it really just means taking audio from a disc and copying it into data on your PC,like when you hear kids say "I just ripped the new Kayne West Cd onto my computer",they just copied it onto their comp,it's simple really. And no it does not remove what you have on the CD,the music from an audio Cd can never be removed,just copied,now if you have a CD-RW,those can be erased,but that won't happen unless you chose to erase it to use it for different music or data,that's what they are made for,while CD-R's are made for one time use,hope that helps.

zshi99 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As far as "rip" we are talking about, is it a lossless procedure or compressed somehow? If it is lossless, that means everything is copied without any modifications, so the original sound quality is preserved. If so, are all the rip softwares are equal?

Leyn Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ripping makes a copy of the tracks, often with loss of information. What is meant by ripping is that you are stealing the copyrights. In Belgium you are allowed to posses one copy of a copyrighted work like a audio CD. E.g. 1:you buy a audio CD. you are allowed to make one verbatim copy on a writable CD (for example for your weekend home). You are also allowed to rip the cda tracks to for example mp3, download them on your mp3 player, and listen to them. E.g. 2: you rent an audio CD from a media library. You are not allowed to make a verbatim copy because the original belongs to the library. You are also not allowed to rip to mp3 because then you rip, steal the cost of the audio CD from the author of the CD. You are not allowed to make a copy because it is not you who have bought the audio CD. If you want to listen to the CD or near equivalent mp3 tracks you must buy the audio CD. By copying, you rip or steal revenues from the author/singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
