Hey Thanks All for your help (And the script).  I think I havent given 
enough info regarding what i want to do.


I know I can rip the CD using cdparanoia and do so very often. But 
rather then ripping individual tracks i wanted to create a 'raw' 
cd-audio image, with the same CDDB ID/gaps/toc info etc.... as the original.

Essentially i wanted something similar to CUE and ISO files that i have 
seen windows programs like EAC do (EAC can for example store TOC 
contents and Gap info in a cue-sheet)

Essentially i want to make a direct audiocd-to-audiocd copy, but with an 
image in between.

From what i gather dd cannot be used for this purpose. Can I use 
mkisofs for audio CD's?  I have used it for data CD's but have no clue 
for audio CD's. If this is not possible any other ideas are appreciated.

Cheers
