Wow my internet terminology is bad
Text editing, basically for coding with web languages and whatnot.
Ripping/encoding: Taking music from your CDs and putting it on your PC, changing types/compression of music files, etc...
File Archiving: Ever used a Zip file? Those are archives. They compress the size of the files and make them better for transfering. Most downloads on the internet come in .zip format, but many also come in .rar, so having WinRAR instead of just WinZip is good because it can handle .rar and .zip types.
