Larry asked,

Computer storage formats such as .wav and .mp3 do not include SCMS informa-
tion. When you rip music to a computer, the SCMS status of the source is
forgotten. The burning software or firmware has to decide how to set the
SCMS bits when you write the files to an audio CD, and the original SCMS
statuses of the sources, having been lost, won't matter at all.
Adaptec Easy CD Creator always sets them to SCMS-penultimate. ExactAudioCopy
has a checkbox that apparently can be unchecked to create an SCMS-unlimited
track, but I've never successfully burned anything with EAC. (I've ripped
tracks with EAC, but for burning that program might as well be an airplane
cockpit for all the controls and settings it has, and the defaults just lead
to error boxes saying you didn't set all the parameters).
