The Progress of Music Ripping Technology Over the Years

Up till a couple of decades back, it was difficult to get out of the house and not be confronted by the sight of yards of glistening tape festooned over the hedges. Sometimes you could see them in the grass, or even trailing out of the trash can. 

This happened because many cassette players used to eject the cassette, but the tape might end up being caught up in a bit of machinery. The slender, slippery tape would emerge in a loop with one end snagged deep in the player’s innards.

If the listeners were technology savvy people, they might be able to tease it free and painstakingly spool all that tape back into its plastic cassette case, only for it jam again.  However, it is more likely that the exasperated individual would just toss the tape into the trash can. 

CDs were considered to be a boon for such people, but only for a few days. Sure there was no need to rewind, forward and spool the tape, but CDs, left in the sun would lose their structural integrity and shape. Apart from being easily breakable, they also got lost, especially if you wanted to listen to a particular track and could not find the missing CD.

CD Ripping Technology Comes of Age

This is the part where CD ripping technology comes into the picture. Once you ripped those CDs to any portable memory stick or card, you will be released from the responsibility of taking care of your CD albums. 

You will be able to listen to high-quality music hour after hour, as your digital player shuffles through its massive repertoire of tracks. Apart from that, you will be able to enjoy a trouble-free experience. Just hook up your music player to your speaker system, or a pair of Bluetooth headphones, and that’s it.

This way, you will be able to pack away your cassettes, records, CDs, turntables, amplifiers, wires, and speakers, once and for all. Never before has great music been so easily available, and this is all thanks to the rapid advancement of CD ripping technology. In fact, it is now possible to save both time and space, like never before.

Till only a few years back, CD ripping consisted of painstakingly ripping your individual CDs into a digital music album, one track at a time. Sometimes, the process was interrupted midway and it led to the corruption of the data. It was so time-consuming that people felt glad to convert even one CD in a day. And for those music enthusiasts who had hundreds of CDs, the very idea of creating a digital music collection, seemed the stuff of science fiction.
