One should do something about that, too. Problem is that we are original source of the emerging improved documentation and that its most important sources are not online any more. > The specification does not say whether the following genre packs hold the > two bytes, too or not.

I relied on your information, when i stated "They may or may not be repeated at the start of the follow-up packs of type 0x87." > 3 : 3 -> CD-TEXT is copyrighted, 0 -> CD-TEXT is not copyrighted > Actually this byte holds some more information (according to cdda2wavs > source code) about program area subchannel copyright (?) if I remember right > but not even the Sony tool, which was my and therefore libcdios reference > implementation, supports that. I am not sure whether these two bits correspond with the COPY permission bit of CONTROL and the SCMS field of MMC command SEND CUE SHEET. The COPY bits of Q sub-channel field CONTROL can have three states: On= Copying is permitted Off= Copying is permitted only once Alternating= Copying is forbidden With CD SAO burning, the alternating state is controled by the SCMS column of the cue sheet together with the COPY bit in the CTL/ADR column. Wikipedia states about SCMS for DAT and MiniDisc: "copy allowed (00), copy once (10) and copy prohibited (11)." So we have much room to speculate what is incidential similarity and what is an intended relation. Have a nice day :) Thomas
