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.
How do folks get bit-perfect CDs and what extra steps can I take to
get these tough CD-R copies to play? Write slower, libparanoia, what
else?
As I'm not a CLI guy at all if you can provide some test commands for
me to play with I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. - I have also tried cleaning the car CD player with one of those
special discs but it didn't help. - MWK
P.S.2. - Doesn't *have* to be CLI, but I think I'd like to do it that
way so I can try it in Cygwin also. - MWK again... ;-)

I've used K3b quite a few times to copy commercial CDs to play on the PA
at the pub where I work. Too much change of damage or loss to take the
original.
Burn at the slowest speed possible and use Exact Copy not Clone Copy.
