Carl,

Thank you for that information. I hadn't given it much thought. Is
that why the SCMS is defeatable on "pro" cd recorders?

In addition, using a cd recorder and audio CD discs is legal under
the home recording act. Using a computer and computer cd roms is
explicitly mentioned as being a copyright violation. This has
nothing to do with whether one owns the original LP or not, but
rather has to do with royalty payments that are added to consumer
recorders and consumer blank media. So if you go the computer route,
you risk turning your music collection into a heap of pirated cd's.
Many do not consider that important, but it is a part of the current
culture that you might want to know about.

Carl doesn't know what he's talking about. For example, there isn't just one
copyright law that relates to transcribing media.
