Unfortunately, I'm not using ANY program to copy the CD.  It's a
stereo-component CD recorder, so I'm at the mercy of the machine...but, as
noted, this is the first time I've ever run across this problem.  I'd never
noticed it before, but I am noticing this time around that a few of the CDs
from which I'm taking songs...notably Toploader's "Onka's Big Moka" and
Nellie McKay's "Get Away From Me"...result in the recorder flashing "TEXT
PROTECTED" across the display when they're put into the system...but it
doesn't prevent me from putting the songs onto mix discs.  It is, however,
apparently prohibiting me from dubbing a copy of the mix discs that I make.
Very, very weird.  But I'm proceeding ahead, anyway.  I'm on my 5th copy
right now, and, at this rate, I'll probably be at least a third of the way
done with my neccesary discs before the end of the day.  At that rate, I may
still be able to ship everything to Bill come the end of the week.  That's
my goal, at least...
