Hi Jim. You probably don't remember me I've been off the list for some time.
Yes it is true that the computer does not set SCMS. But I'm still pretty sure that
it is the recorder and not the source that encodes the signal. So in the case of a
CD writer, there will be no problem with SCMS. But the consumer MD recorders are
all designed to add SCMS. So it should be impossible to make a digital copy of a
digital copy of an MD.
Think about it. If the source encoded the SCMS, you would not be able to make a
digital copy in the first place. But you can make one original. That's because
the SCMS is added as the first MD is being "burned".
Bye,
