	Hi;

	cdrdao does exactly this. actually, so can cdrecord. K3B is
generally just a front end to these types of programs, but if it
is not doing the right thing, then I would read up on cdrdao, which
can make exact duplicates of cd's including things like 'hidden'
tracks.
	The man pages for cdrdao and cdrecord are quite extensive.

Good Luck;
