In the mid-2000s, audio quality was a battleground. You had "WebRips" (often low quality), "RadioRips" (terrible quality with DJ shout-overs), and the holy grail: "CDRIP." Seeing "CDRIP" in the filename guaranteed you were getting the best possible audio bitrate available at the time (usually 128kbps or the premium 320kbps). It meant someone had physically purchased the album, inserted it into a disc drive, and converted it into an MP3 for the world. It was a mark of purity in an era of compressed, tinny audio.

That way, you preserve the spirit of the scene without infringing on the rights of Sony Music or Dharma Productions. -Dc- - Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna - -DholCutz-CDRIP...
