Did you want the person to detail every step they took?

The least they could do is say that they burned a copy/blank or ripped the original instead of mixing it up and saying that the original was burned. It makes it sound like they were writing to the original.

What does it matter? Everyone that understands context understood exactly what they meant.

This is dumb.

Well, apparently lots of people here who are familiar with ripping and burning CDs found it confusing - so I don't think it's dumb to point out the confusing wording, especially to clarify for those who don't know that burning means writing and ripping means reading. I at least initially recoiled in horror at the thought of burning data onto the rare find.
