What Does CD Ripper Mean?

Techopedia Explains CD Ripper
A CD ripper copies the audio portion of a CD and converts it to a format that can be used with an audio program or portable device, such as an MP3 player or smartphone. It may be a component of a music player program, as with iTunes, or it may be a separate component, such as FreeRIP. A CD ripper is normally used when a user wants to listen to a CD on a device such as a smartphone or portable audio device and does not want to buy an album again from an online music store. In some cases, a release might not be available on online music stores at all.
