Hi Danny. Here's how the copy protection scheme works in the MD world. If your original recording is analog, that is, you used the RCA or Walkman plug to record analog audio to the MD, you can make one level of digital copy from that MD. You won't be able to make a digital copy of these second level discs. You can, however, make as many analog copies of MDs as you like, copying from the original source in analog, copying that second copy to a third copy in analog, and so forth.
As for software that will play the contents of an MD, I'm not sure of that. As I said, I hook my MD recorder to the PC using analog means, and record the result into Sound Forge. I then split the file into individual files and convert them to .mp3. It's a bit tedious, but it is doable. Hope this helps. Have a good day, and don't work too hard. GO REDS!
