Ripping means to take analog data and turn it in digital. This process
would be used when ripping Audio CD to compressed files such as WMA or MP3.
When you ripped your CD's you didn't read the prompt that ask if you would
like to protect your music, you said sure. If you did not back up your
licenses you will need to re-rip your CD onto your PC.
