Ripping (aka extraction) reads the disk in a different way than an audio 
player. The RedBook specs tell the players how to fake out problems. The 
extraction is more specific and tends to either work or not, where the 
audio can play through errors and just keep making what sounds like music.

Bit rot is real.
