FezzFest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Last night I wanted to make a SP recording of a cd on a 80 minute minidisc using the optical out of my cdplayer and optical in of my MZ-N710. "No Copy" started blinking on my N710 when I wanted to record the cd. I took a closer look to the cd and I saw he was copyprotected. I inserted the cd (Camino Real - Buscemi) in my pc and I was able to save the tracks in wav on my pc using EAC. This method took alot of time. My question: do you know if there is a method to bypass the "No Copy" error when using the optical out of my cdplayer?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Probably not. But why not just use Simple Burner (from Downloads) to transfer the tracks from the CD? That is, if the copy protection will allow you to do that....If not, I'd burn the .wav tracks and take the CD back to the store and tell them it's defective. Copy protection is a defect.

FezzFest Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I can't use Simple Burner because I want to make SP recordings for my MZ-E60. Yes I can burn the wav back to a cd, but I want to know if there's a method to do it via the optical out of my cdplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingenfr Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) Do some googling on SCMS. There is a solution on eBay for around $50 and the M-Audio CO3 has been going for around $75. I don't have the need or I would go with one of those. I think that is the problem you are seeing, but someone smarter than me may chime in. Edited November 27, 2005 by lingenfr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I dont think u get scms if u re-burn. I ripped a dvd to another disc and didnt get scms. Give it a try, whats to lose? 1 blank disc>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poe Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 You may want to make sure the record tab on the minidisc is in the right position for recording.POE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDX-400 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yeah it's retarded. Copy-protected CDs have perverted the SCMS standard and for no reason. These CDs have their SCMS bit set to copy-inhibit as if they were a digital copy already made from the original (which they aren't).Honestly I have NO clue why they do this. The majority of music piracy happens with computers which don't even bother with SCMS to begin with. The additional copy-protection measures they put in are often defeated as well, as you pointed out, with programs like EAC. But why they have to go and do that with the SCMS is far beyond me. I just don't get it.Like who runs a music pirating operation (or gets their pirated music) by using home audio digital recording equipment (i.e. MD equipment, home-audio CD-R units, etc.)??? Plain stupid. The only thing the perversion of the SCMS does is prevent legitimate copying of music people have already purchased, under fair use.
