Are you talking about audio CDs?
If so, you need to understand that although the data on the CD is in fact ones and zeros, CDROMs cannot access that data as they would for a data CD. A special mode is used to read the bits of an audio CD, and not all CDROM drives are equally adept at doing so. To get a "perfect" rip of an audio CD is not a trivial task from a programming point of view. The "gold standard" for reading audio CDs and creating wav files is Exact Audio Copy (EAC). Another program which is easier to use and generally considered as good as EAC is CDex.

I used to use CloneCD, I may even have copy somewhere. I think they closed shop at the behest of some organization or another. I also have the latest Roxio and Nero laying around somewhere. I just want a perfectly copied CD, byte for byte, down & dirty, easy, so it cannot be recognized as something other than the original. I have all sorts of machines with both XP & Vista & OSX so that is not a problem. Is there a consensus on CD duplication out there? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
