The ISRC is used by radio stations to archive recordings. Royalty collection societies
such as GEMA or MCPS/PRS also use the code to automate generation of transmission
logs, and thus simplify licensing accounting. For commercial recordings, the ISRC
should only consist of the code provided by the record label. If the record label
company has not been issued a first owner code, you should contact the IFPI.

To add an ISRC code:

m

Click the track’s ISRC field, then type the ISRC code in the field.

The CD Track Info Window

You can also view and edit track information in the CD Track Info window, including
copy protection and pre-emphasis

To show the CD Track Info window, do one of the following:

m

Select the track in the Track list, then choose Disc > Track Info

m

Click the track start marker for the track, then choose Disc > Track Info.

m

Double-click the track start marker for the track.

Setting the Copy Prohibit Bit

You can set a Copy Prohibit Bit for a track. When a track’s Copy Prohibit Bit is set, the
track cannot be copied digitally more than once by recording devices that support the
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). These devices automatically write a copy
prohibit bit to prevent further generations of digital copies of the track.

Consumer-level DAT recorders (but frequently not professional-level ones) are usually
equipped with SCMS. However, because many recording devices do not include this
type of copy protection, setting the Copy Prohibit Bit does not guarantee that the track
cannot be copied multiple times. WaveBurner Pro provides the option to set the Copy
Prohibit Bit in order to comply with the Red Book standard.

To set the Copy Prohibit Bit:

m

In the General Pane of the CD Track Info window, choose “Protected original” or
“Protected copy” from the SCMS pop-up menu.
