Ripping from burned CDs...?
My friend has almost every single Nine Inch Nails CD made and I asked her if I could borrow one (so I could rip it and use it in a project). She insisted instead on burning the CD for me. Would the song ripped from the burned CD come out in the same quality as the original CD?

The quality shouldn't be affected. Unlike cassettes, disk to disk copy doesn't have any lose of quality that I'm aware of.

Actually, that's not necessarily true. It all depends on how the burn is done. Direct CD-to-CD copy? Or will she rip MP3s and burn THOSE?Jebadia wrote:The quality shouldn't be affected. Unlike cassettes, disk to disk copy doesn't have any lose of quality that I'm aware of.
If it's a direct CD-to-CD copy (or an image is created and burned from that), the result will be absolutely identical (more or less) to the original CD, and will retain the exact same quality (more or less) as the original.
If she rips MP3s to burn the CD from, there's where you're going to get into some quality loss.

The error correction allowances on CD-Audio are less generous than on CD-ROM; as a result, it is possible for a low-quality CD-to-CD burn to actually incur some generation loss - i.e. the copy won't sound as good as the original. In practice, I think it's been a long time since that was actually an issue for anyone; current equipment is good enough to do a perfect bit-for-bit copy. But it's theoretically possible for there to be a quality loss.
That's with a direct CD-to-CD copy. As VegettoEX said, if there is an MP3 enocde/decode between the original and the copy, then you will lose quality for sure.

She can only make copies for HER own personal use, not her and you to "borrow."
And yes, if you did a direct copy, quality shouldn't be a problem.
