Parameter	Description

nCdDriveIndex	Number representing the zero-based index of the involved CD drive. Installed CD drives can be enumerated using the GetCdDrivesCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the GetCdDriveDesc method.
nTrackIndex	Number representing the one-based index of the CD audio track. The total number of available audio tracks on the given CD can be obtained using the GetCdNumTracks method.
nCodecIndex	Number representing the index of the ACM codec. Installed codecs can be enumerated using the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecsCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecDesc method.
nCodecFormatIndex	Number representing the index of the format for the given ACM codec. Available formats for the given codec can be enumerated using the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecFormatsCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecFormatDesc method.
strOutputPath	String representing the absolute pathname of the output file that will contain the song's ripped data. If this pathname should contain invalid characters, they would be automatically changed into an underscore '_' character.

Value	Meaning

Negative value	An error occurred (see the LastError property for further error details)
enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR (0)	The call was successful.
