Simply ripping + burning the files works for me:

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
cdparanoia -B
...change cd here...
cdrecord -eject -dao -pad *.wav

I also suspect that the information you see in your cd player are from 
freedb or cddb. I'm not sure but this lookup seems to be based on the 
number + size of tracks, so if this is the same on original and copy the 
information should also show up with your copy in the cd player...
