I had a similar problem. It is supposedly a problem that exists in the
player, ie some players live happily with cdrs and some do not.
I overcame it by recording in TAO mult-track mode.
>From man cdrecord.
cdda2wav -v255 -D2,0 -B -Owav
cdrecord -v dev=2,0 -dao -useinfo *.wav
that is how I created the same problem, instead IIRC do this
cdda2wav -v63 -D2,0 -B -Owav # stop it complaining about -v255
rm *.inf # not using info so lose it
cdrecord -v dev=2,0 -tao *.wav # leaves 2 sec between tracks
where the parameters give the D and dev= above are what you get from:
cdrecord -scanbus.
