A ripper is another program which can be either a standalone program
or installed into a larger media program. The job of the ripper
is to transfer files from a CD to the hard drive or storage media
of a computer. A ripper can also convert CD files into other formats,
such as mp3. The ripper which comes free with the Windows Media
Player, takes in the region of three minutes to transfer a music
album from a CD to the computer's hard disk. Of course, the speed
increases as the speed of the CD/DVD reader increases. A ripper
gives a selection of bit rates. The bit rate dictates the quality
of the audio file. A higher bit rate means a larger file to store.
The bit rate is calculated in Kbps, 128 is a low bit rate and 320
is high.
