The Rip Audio CD screen displays the audio files available on the Audio CD. You can save the audio files from an Audio CD to the hard drive. The files are encoded, i.e. converted into a format that the computer can read. The audio file is usually compressed.
The Audio CD can be automatically identified with Gracenote. So-called metadata, i.e. information such as title, genre, and track title, is accessed by the Gracenote Media Database and associated to the tracks. That way you have audio files that are accurately and fully named after the encoding process.
