When you move something that was copied to MD from commercial CD BACK to CD what does the copy protection sound like? Is it multiple skips and pops?

There might be some variation between different machines. On my portable MZ-R500, 254 'tracks' are created, each about one second long. The resulting sound is recognisable as bits of the original track, but highly garbled or blurred. Totally useless.

My deck just flashes the words 'Cannot Copy' and remains in pause, but least it doesn't pretend to record...

I think that is what I experienced then. I was being stupid, I had moved a few tracks to MD from the last George Harrison, and was playing with moving it back to the PC in preparation to burn it back to CD just for practice.

I flipped out when I heard it. Multiple skips, kind of like when you are playing a track FF or RW to get to a certain point. Like you say though, useless.
