[QUOTE="Jason Dermer, post: 26135, member: 234"] Re: Home CD recorders Honestly, if you are doing anything more than a CD here and there, buying a pro level recorder that does not require SCMS enabled discs will pay for itself very quickly. That said, you can also try this, it worked with my old Phillips recorder and was a common "bootleggers" tip when home CD recording was just getting popular: Insert an SCMS disc, let the recorder read it, and then press "record" but don't hit the start/play button yet. Manually open the CD tray (a paper clip in that tiny hole under the tray in the manual/ emergency eject. Swap in a regular CDR. Record away, you have now fooled the machine. Literally and figuratively. :) Of course, I was doing this at least ten if not twelve years ago, so there may have been updates put into the Phillips machines to prevent doing this. [/QUOTE]
