A file with a name like track01 must contain raw data:
"...MSB left, LSB left, MSB right, LSB right, MSB left and so on. The
track should be a multiple of 2352 bytes.
"If a filename ends in .au or .wav the file is considered to be a
structured audio data file."

Yes, you had header junk and the rest of the data were byte-swapped.
Use track01.wav instead for your links. And I assume your cdrecord line
ended with track?? instead of trackxx. Replace this with track??.wav.
I have not seen an audio player that won't handle track at once
recording; however, if that's the issue, look into the -dao and -sao
options, or use cdrdao.
You can also try a lower recording speed. The ideal speed may vary with
media. Unless a disc from a very specific list (per drive) of known
media is used, the laser strategy is not optimized, resulting in a poor
quality recording.
