Title: .scn file created when ripping cd??
Post by: BlackHat on January 21, 2003, 05:21:02 pm

I ripped a couple of CDs, (I had been using WMP, and wanted to try out MJ [8.0.393])

Well in the folder where the songs were placed (ripped as .mp3s) in addition to the "Song1.mp3" "Song2.mp3" "Song3.mp3" files were some .scn files. "Song1.scn" "Song2.scn", "Song3.scn".

What are they?

Well it could be shorthand for scan or screen, but I'll bet it is something WMP (if version 9) added (even though it probably wasn't running). I think it has something to do with copy protection (Secure Copy something). Try moving them out of the directory...see what happens.

Well,  my WMP is ver 8, so it probably wasn't WMP, and I dont have RA, so it probably wasn't "This" :)

Deleting the files had no effect on either MJ or WMP.

But on further checking, I found that the .scn files were not created on the day I ripped the songs (using MJ).  They were created just a few days ago.  Around the time I was trying out a couple of music players.  [BPM-Studio 4, and MUSICMATCH Jukebox] One of them appears to have created a .scn file for every .mp3 that is in and ARTIST\ALBUM\ folder.  But not the ones in a generic "Good Stuff" folder that was not ripped from a CD.
