Hello,

I have never heard about this copy protection of mini-disc recordings. I
have been copying my own recordings from md to cd via pc for 3 years now
and it's working fine! :) I really want one of those NetMD's that I talked
about earlier though, seems so much easier.

The CD-burner program I use is called AheadNero, and it's great cause it
automatically makes any audio-file that it knows into readable audio-cd
format files (if you choose "audio-cd" as the burn-"mode"). (Before I
discovered this, though, I re-saved all the files that were .mp3 to .wav in
the sound-editing program before trying to burn the cd's).
