Ripping a CD and burning a CD are actually the opposite of one another.Ripping a CD is the process of taking a CD that has content on it, usually a commercial music CD, inserting it into your computer, and then using software such as Windows Media Player, converting each track on that CD into a digital file, usually an MP3 file.
Burning a CD is just the opposite: It's assembling a number of MP3 files, converting them to WAV or AIFF files (the native format that can be written to an audio CD) and organizing them into a playlist. You then instruct the same software Windows Media Player, to "write" those tracks, in the order you placed them in your playlist, onto a recordable blank CD-R or CD-RW (the latter is re-useable)
