ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Radio ripping

Radio ripping is when you use a special device to record music or other things from the radio station onto your computer or phone. It's like when you use a pencil to copy something you hear your teacher say onto your paper. You can then listen to the music you recorded whenever you want, just like you can read the notes you wrote down from your teacher whenever you need to study. However, it's important to remember that recording music without permission from the radio station or artist can be illegal, just like copying from someone else's paper without asking is not okay.
