CD ROM Drives
Not
all CD ROM drives are capable of 'Digital Audio Extraction' and some don't
work with certain CD Rippers. Majority of the CD ROMs can rip DA
frames, as can most SCSI and ATAPI drives. In terms of IDE CD ROM
drives, that depends.
There
is a wide range of CD Rippers that could be downloaded from the net.
Below are some examples and their functions.
