To me, at least, "ripping" refers specifically to recovering the
stream of digital data from a RedBook audio CD and storing
it into a proper computer file (wav, etc.)

Capturing/recording/transcribing from other sources (such as
LPs or tape, etc.) is NOT "ripping" as the original was not a
digital source.

But there are digital sources other than RedBook CD?
