Um ,"ripping" implies digital extraction.

I would agree with implies, but not necessitates.

The word ripping as meaning transcribing digitally is now part of the
vernacular, and is widely used for many other things.

The term "ripping" in my understanding relates to the crass, fast, and
undignified rapid bulk extraction of music from a CD that involved little
skill on the part of the doer.


Whereas I've seen it applied to everything from quick-n-dirty
extraction directly to 128 kbps mp3, to the fussiest testing/error-correcting
Exact Audio Copy setup.

I take it to mean, simply, digital extraction of audio data from a
CD to hard drive.
