That is an interesting way of numbering CDr copies, however I've never seen it used in that fashion. Mostly because only a very few people copy CD's via analog connection.

Typically it would indicate the number of people or CDr copies between you and the taper/master. I am kind of against using (0) cause it's like a hidden generation. To avoid confusion you can just write it out. master cassette > CDr > CDr > CDr. which I would abbreviate as m>CDr(3) or m>C3, even though they are all copied digitally.
