OK, I understand what you were saying, some drives today lack the analog 
output connector. That would be used for playing as an analog source, but not 
for ripping.

Some older drives even had RCA jacks for analog output, haven't seen one of 
those in years.

Sounds like cost reduction, not rip prevention, since most applications these 
days, even in Windows, use the digital out.
