This most likely happened because one of the tracks on the disc was copy
protected on the original disc. When that occurs, the SCMS system will let
you make a copy of it, but will not allow a copy to be made of the copy.
A computer CD burner and Nero (or other burning software) will let you
duplicate that compilation disc without any headaches. SCMS only applies to
the home stereo type units.
