Abstract

CD ripping is a process of converting audio CD into .wav format. This is done using a program known as the CD ripper or grabber. The CD ripper produces or contains exactly the same information that is on the CD, without any loss of quality at all. The size of .wav file is huge, which makes it difficult to store and transfer. Rippers use two ways to communicate with the CD ROM drive—ASPI interface and the MSCDEX interface. MP3 encoding is the process of converting a wave file into MP3 format. The size of the MP3 file is about 12 times smaller than that of the parent wave file. The MP3 format is based on an algorithm developed by the Fraunhofer Institute. The audio is then made available on the Website, even digital sound files, such as .wav or .au files, can be encoded for playback by using the audio streaming technology. Some common streaming multimedia players are real audio, shockwave audio, streamworks, and toolvox. However, the quality of audio on the Internet is not hi-fi, but the streaming audio technology is steadily improving.
