Despite being a founding member of the newly reorganized Western League under Ban Johnson, and played in Recreation Park (Grand Rapids, Michigan).

DVD Ripper
Ripping is the extraction of digital content from a container, such as a CD, onto a new digital location. Originally, the term meant to rip music from Commodore 64 games. Later, the term was applied to ripping WAV or MP3 files from digital audio CDs, and after that to the extraction of contents from any storage media, including DVD and Blu-ray discs, as well as the extraction of video game sprites. Despite the name, neither the media nor the data is damaged after extraction. Ripping is often used to shift formats, and to edit, duplicate or back up media content. A rip is the extracted content, in its destination format, along with accompanying files, such as a cue sheet or log file from the ripping software. To rip the contents out of a container is different from simply copying the whole container or a file. When creating a copy, nothing looks into the transferred file, nor checks if there is any encryption or not, and raw copy is also not aware of any file format. One ...

A more formal term used for the process of ripping audio CDs is digital audio extraction (DAE).

As time progressed, most music publishers became more open to the idea that since individuals had bought the music, they should be able to create a copy for their own personal use on their own computer. Etymology The Jargon File entry for ''rip'' notes that the term originated in Amiga slang, where it referred to the extraction of multimedia content from program data. Design As an intermediate step, some ripping programs save the extracted audio in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
