Ok, I did some research and understand what bit by bit copy means, but how
does it apply to MD? The only way to do a bit by bit copy of anything is to
have software that allows you to do it. That means you would have to be
using some sort of data drive to copy a disc image of a MD. When you play
digital music from a computer wav file or mp3 and record it on a minidisc
through a Toslink or coax connection, you are getting a bit by bit copy of
the music, no matter what digital card you use. That's the definition of
digital storage. It's just 1's or 0's. If there were missing bits, there
would be obvious dropouts or digital noise. Even if there is a problem with
the source data, it is possible through error correction to reconstruct the
bits as they should have been, so you can get a correct digital copy anyway.
I really can't see why anything else would be important. Please enlighten
me.

What the heck does "bit by bit copy" mean?

But it does not support bit by bit-copy.
