Ripping refers to the sequence of placing an audio cd's contents on your computer. Since it is saved onto the cd in a .cda format, it needs to be "ripped" from the cd, compressed, and put onto your computer.
Burning refers to the sequence of putting files from your computer or harddrive onto a cd. There are two types of disks you can burn: data, or mp3 disks, can be played on most modern cd players. They can hold up to 700 MB of data, or close to, if not more then, 150 songs. Audio cds are cds that can be played in older cd players. Essentially, the songs are not compressed and you get 80 minutes of music. hope that helps Have a good day - Tyler Wood --- Tyler Wood skype: the_conman283 msn/windows messinger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] best tv guide on the internet: http://www.zap2it.com best internet radio: http://www.bluebeat.com soon to have a live journal! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Corson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
