If you have songs in your PC and want to copy them to a CD or another hard disk, or want to convert songs stored in CD into MP3 format, then you need to be aware of music ripping. While ripping music, you can also do audio mastering using equalization, compression, editing, noise elimination processes. It is meant to enhance the quality of your music and gives it a more professional touch.

You need to have a decent PC with enough RAM and hard disk memory to begin with. You also need to have internet connectivity for downloads and for working online with a few software. A broadband connectivity is great, though a dialup will also serve the purpose.

You can do music ripping in various ways. Download music software (ripping software normally costs around $30) and follow the instructions carefully. Most downloads are well supported by online help and after sales. You can even try a free trial download to get a feel of the ripping process.

You can then play your favorite songs in your PC as well as burn a CD to play in your car audio. You can make copies of CDs and present to your friends. Beware of the legal angle, though.
