On behalf of translators everywhere, please don't use "rip". It won't
translate well - or, rather, it won't translate at all, making the
software effectively use "copy", "take", "save" or similar in most other
languages, and not consistently either, as the original doesn't give you
a preference.

Maybe "songs" is better than "tracks" too - though of course not all
tracks are songs.

In general, it tends to be better to use concrete rather than abstract
terms; for the sake of translation, but also (I believe) for ease of
understanding.
