Comment 2 for bug 346245

To "rip" an audio cd means to extract an audio cd to a media format that can be stored on a hard disk. I agree the language is confusing and shouldn't be used.

Although the string you cite is not present in the latest version of ubuntu-docs (because Rhythmbox *is* able to extract audio cds), the word is used in other contexts, so I think the bug is valid.
