Jim, even if there is, you can't make a digital copy of a digital copy
of an MD. Plus let's not forget ATRAC. Even if you could bypass SCMS,
you are going to have some generation loss for each copy.
I'd love to hear how many generations it really takes before you start
to notice the loss. But since I can't make a digital copy from a
digital copy, I have no way of trying this experiment.
Changing the subject to our "favorite", while the record companies are
bitching about Napster, how come they have never lowered the price of
prerecorded CDs?
It is my understanding that it actually costs less to make a CD then a
cassette. I think that the process is different from the way they
originally make them and the cost is very low.
You can buy a blank CDR for fifty cents!! I once heard that it costs
them about sixty cents to make a prerecorded CD. I'm speaking of the
actual pressing. Nothing else.
A vinyl record album cover most cost as much as a Jewel box with the
tiny graphics they have.
Is it true that Napster offered the record companies the idea of a
monthly fee for downloading and the record companies rejected it flat
out?
