Just so we're clear for Calvin and David,

Ripping is not burning. Ripping is the process of Converting AIFF files 
from a commercial audio CD into another digital file format like MP3 or 
AAC. It is also the converting of any digital format into another. I 
may rip my MP3 files into AIFF files so I can burn a CD that will play 
in any audio CD player. I may rip my AAC file that I bought at the 
Apple iTunes Music Store into AIFF files so I can burn a CD that will 
play in any audio CD player.

Ripping is the Converting of one digital recording file format to 
another.

Burning is the Recording onto CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or DVD-RW media.
