You get an exact copy by using *cdrdao* for the track information half (TOC/CUE sheet), *cdparanoia* for the audio half (wav), and cdrdao for burning the disk by combining the audio and information. My cdrdao + cdparanoia setup is essentially the same as Reid Priedhorsky's <reid@reidster.net> rp-cdda, and the same as using EAC to create a CUE sheet + single wav file. Basic setup: #--- #READ # individual track/cue/gap/tag information -> TOC file cdrdao read-toc --with-cddb --device ATAPI:/dev/cdrw \ --driver generic-mmc --datafile cd.wav cd.toc # audio portion -> single wav file cdparanoia "1-" cd.wav -d /dev/cdrw #--- #WRITE # TOC file + wav file -> exact copy of original cd # (preserves gaps, indexed tracks, hidden tracks) cdrdao write --device ATAPI:/dev/cdrw \ --driver generic-mmc --speed 12 cd.toc #--- Ha--here are some more scripts: http://dwdraw.homeunix.org/bin/audio cdread: Saves cue/track information in a TOC file--cd.toc; saves audio in cd.wav. cdwrite: Writes audio cd using cd.toc and cd.wav at speed 12x. cdrwite24: same as above, but at 24x. cdrw: Combines cdread and cdwrite, requiring minimal interaction from the user and two optical drives. (These are very basic scripts. Edit them to use your correct drive names; they already use the 2.6 kernel ATAPI/IDE naming/interface. The scripts take no input and always use files cd.toc and cd.wav.) I used these scripts to make an exact backup of my CD collection. Googling for things, you can find ways to convert back and forth from cdrdao's TOC format to the CUE format for the cue/track information.
