No - different requirements.
When you play you want it not to skip so errors are 'ignored' where possible 
so the tempo is unchanged - most errors will be inaudible/ignored by the 
human ear. It has to get really bad before skipping occurs.
Ripping is normally an attempt to copy the audio from the cd - and there are 
checks - data errors will be retried up to some limit or other. You may find 
that just copying the cd, as opposed to ripping works quickly but causes 
problems later.
There may be software to help - there was years ago in the days of the green 
felt tip....
