Nice one :-)

MCN stands for "Media Catalogue Number" and should be a 13-character string
containing only decimal digits. (It also stands for "Motor Cycle News" but I
doubt that is relevant. :-) )
What's in /tmp/track-01.inf? I suspect that whatever app generated your .inf
has screwed up.
I don't think it matters if you don't have an MCN at all... (grabs file)
Here's the audio_01.inf generated by cdda2wav from the first track of
"Whisper to the Wild Water" by Maire Brennan (which I bought yesterday):
#created by cdda2wav 1.10_linux_2.4.18_i686_i686 04/24/03 17:12:35
#
CDINDEX_DISCID= 'T9r7T9AOgOvIE.xmQT3qmdqVAgw-'
CDDB_DISCID= 0xc00f020e
MCN=
ISRC=
#
Albumtitle= ''
Tracktitle= ''
Tracknumber= 1
Trackstart= 0
# track length in sectors (1/75 seconds each), rest samples
Tracklength= 23440, 0
Pre-emphasis= no
Channels= 2
Copy_permitted= no
Endianess= little
# index list
Index= 0
Index0= -1
... so if you replace it with an empty string you should be OK; if the rest
of the .inf is corrupt, either don't use the -useinfo option or put sensible
values in the .inf by hand ('Tracknumber' onwards are the really important
bits) - here's audio_02.inf from the same CD to help clue you in:
#created by cdda2wav 1.10_linux_2.4.18_i686_i686 04/24/03 17:12:35

CDINDEX_DISCID= 'T9r7T9AOgOvIE.xmQT3qmdqVAgw-'

Tracklength= 23822, 0
Pre-emphasis= no
Channels= 2
Copy_permitted= no
Endianess= little
# index list

Glad you're having more success now!
