Now that you've set up RipEditBurn Plus to record and tested the volume, all you need to do is record. Start recording in RipEditBurn Plus first, then press Play on the program you are using to play the copy protected CD. Press Record again (or the Stop button) to stop recording. After you stop recording, you should see the waveform of the file you just recorded in RipEditBurn Plus's display.

Now you have the wave file and you are basically done. You can easily edit the file from this window if you would like. You'll probably want to at least delete the silence at the beginning of the file by highlighting it and pressing the delete key on your keyboard. When you are satisfied with your changes, save it. If you want to create an mp3, simply "Save As" the file as MP3 file type.

The quality of analog ripped audio on most machines is nearly as good as the quality of digitally ripped audio. It's not perfect, but much better than not being able to make a copy at all.

We will be putting an automated option for analog ripping into later versions of our programs, to make it simpler for you to make personal copies of copy-protected and corrupt cds.
