Please, if you do not understand what I'm talking about, DO NOT REPLY.

Do you know how to rip music from CDs? When I say rip, I don't mean how to do it with Windows Media Player. I mean do you understand how ripping works? Plus, who knows how to actually find tracks on CDs, and not the usual 44KB CDAs that we always see.

Ripping (also referred to as digital audio extraction) is the process of copying the audio or video data from one media form, such as DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray or CD, to a hard disk. While the original media is typically digital, the extraction of analog media such as VHS video or vinyl records to a digital format can also be referred to as "ripping". To conserve storage space, the copied data is usually encoded in a compressed format such as MP3, WMA, FLAC or Ogg Vorbis for audio, or MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD or Ogg Theora for video.
The term has been adopted to refer to audio extraction/duplication, though this use of the term is less common. If you need a more detailed explanation, give more specifics next time e.g type of software used in ripping and encoding, media type e.t.c
