MD: SCMS
When you make a copy of a CD with optical cable, SCMS is implemented on the MD. The copy bit 10 is written and prevents a second generation digital copy. But is it the MD recorder that puts SCMS protection on the disc or does the MD recorder only write the copy bit of the source? In other words, is it the digital out of a deck (CD, MD) that sends the SCMS status or is it the MD recorder that writes the SCMS status during recording? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SCMS was implemented on the CD to start, but it was set to allow one gene-
ration of digital copying. Permission to copy does not mean absence of SCMS:
SCMS is the *system* (that's what the second S stands for) and it is imple-
mented on all consumer digital audio media.
[The problem with saying "this doesn't have SCMS" or "there's no SCMS here"
to describe an SCMS-compliant recording that allows copying is that saying
it that way destroys the distinctions among (1) a recording or signal whose
SCMS bits allow one generation of copying, (2) a recording or signal whose
SCMS bits allow unlimited generations of recopying, and (3) a storage format
{such as a .wav or .mp3 file on a hard disk} or a transmission protocol
{such as AES/EBU or an analog signal} that truly does not carry SCMS infor-
mation. Only type #3 can properly be described as "not having SCMS."]

"10" is the designation for "no further digital copying" on DATs; on MDs it's
actually "01" (in bits 6 and 5 of the segment's status word).

Both. (Pardon the anthropomorphisms here, but they do facilitate the expla-
nation.) The source machine reports the SCMS status of whatever it is play-
ing and the destination machine decides how to respond. If the source sends
out "I am playing an SCMS-penultimate recording" in its S/PDIF output, then
the destination machine decides "This signal is SCMS-penultimate, and I obey
SCMS, so I must mark the copy I'm writing as SCMS-final." When you try to
copy an SCMS-final source digitally, it is the destination machine that de-
cides, "This signal is SCMS-final, and I obey SCMS, so I won't record it."
A professional-grade recorder might have logic instead of say, "I'm receiving
an SCMS-final signal, but my switches are set to disobey SCMS and to write
SCMS bits that allow unlimited recopying (or to write SCMS bits that allow
one more generation, or however the switches are set), so that's what I'll
do."

MD: Latest version of MD Editor
Hi Folks! I'm running MD Editor software version 1.12E. Is there a more recent version available? Where can I get it? I'm hoping it has CDDB importing of titles. Am I dreaming? :) Cheers!

Re: MD: cheaper optical cables
A few weeks ago someone mentioned that they saw convertible TosLink/Miniplug digital cables at Target. I offered to pick a few up the next time I went to Target and a couple people responded that they would like one. The bad news is that I went to the "super" Target in San Francisco today and the cables were nowhere to be seen. Sorry to disappoint. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: cheaper optical cables
Hi Dan. I got a set at Sears for $13.99. I had to do some looking. I found a whole bunch of audio cables that were Recoton, but no dice. I was about to give up when I saw an other display (the Sears where I live is such a mess that if it was broken into no one could even tell). Then there they were. So I suggest that anyone interested check out Sears. I can't believe the disorder of most of the stores in my area. What do they think, if the store looks like sh!t then it must have low prices? I visited a Target 2 weeks ago. It's about an hour from me. I couldn't believe how clean it was. Wide isles. Everything in it's place. The prices varied. Some were very good; others equal to Wal*Mart and some things were high. They had I-Jam portable MP3 players, but no I-Jam portable CD players. I thought that was odd. Except or the internet I have never seen I-Jam for "real". Larry Dan Frakes wrote: A few weeks ago someone mentioned that they saw convertible TosLink/Miniplug digital cables at Target.
