Quoting Mark Knecht <markknecht(a)gmail.com>om>:
I wonder what the command line folks do here for CD
duplication. I
need to duplicate some new studio CDs for listening in different
environment. The CDs require gapless writing - no 2 second gap - as
some songs flow from track to track. They also should support CD Text.
In the past I've done this stuff in k3b but for some reason many of
the copies of new CD-Rs I'm receiving aren't playing in my car stereo.
Strange as the original CD-Rs play perfectly. I've tried 4 different
media types. It's always the same CD-R copies that fail. My copies
work elsewhere - Windows iTunes ripping, my home CD player, my wife's
car - just not my car.
First, make sure to lower the writing speed. I'd use x8 or something.
And some car stereos are more sensitive than others.
As for CLI rip/burn I just tried this (from the wodim manpage):
"To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run
'icedax dev=/dev/cdrom -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav'
and then run
'wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav'
This will try to copy track indices and to read CD-Text information
from disk. If there is no CD-Text information, icedax will try to get
the information from freedb.org instead"
You might need to adjust the device names to suite your setup.
I don't know (and I doubt it) if icedax is more accurate than
cdparanoia but it seems to be the only "easy" way of ripping cd-text.
I also haven't verified if it's really gapless but the -dao should
indicate it.
