Most music programs like iTunes and Windows Media offer both of these features, so this should relate to all of them.Rip = means to put the music files from the CD onto your computer's hard drive. For instance when you load a CD into your computer using iTunes or Windows Media Player and you want to add the music to your "Library" you choose, Rip. This will take the music from the CD and "Rip" it to your hard drive.Burn = means to take the music files from your computer, and record them on to a blank CD. So when you select the music files that you want to put on a blank CD you would use the "Burn" option to record the music to the blank disc.

Copying a CD is just that, You end up with another CD with the same information on it as the one you started with (identical). Ripping is the action of getting the Information of the CD, Usually Music or Video, and downloading it onto your PC. Also Ripping usually involves a process of converting files, Such as A music CD the songs are Wav Files, and when you Rip them to your PC they are usually converted into Mp3 files.
