Closed microstudio and removed cdg and started all over. didn't get the first track for a second, but still get the same message.

tried sound choice 8951 and it showed the 16 tracks, and by deselecting the 16th track, I could import the 15 tracks.

Most of the SC discs from 8700-8739 as well as any reprints of earlier discs were using the mediacoq protection as well as some of the star series and power picks that came out at that time.
Dale is right, call SC and they will replace it for you if it's not yet discontinued

Prober,

There have been two types of copy protection used to date.

One is called Mediaclog, and the other is called Multisession.

Dale has corrrectly advised you on the Mediaclog type. Mediaclog protected discs are usually identified as such on the disc hub.

The one where you have obviously found one of the workarounds is the Multisession type. There are other methods of getting around Multisession reported on the forums. Just search Multisession if you care to read about them.

Hope this helps clear up any confusion you may have as to why one will copy and the other won't.
