You told me that you like to have one file per track. Using cdda2wav is the best way to achieve this. Why do you now like to do the converse? I said: I like to end up with a raw/toc pair of files to act as a raw backup of the CD, and a series of individual FLAC files for each track. I like having this backup because of the potential issues introduced by having one file per track. For example: Where does the hidden track before track #1 go? Should it be prepended to file #1? If so, what if you just want to hear track #1 and not the hidden track? I like to have a raw backup of the entire CD to avoid issues brought about by splitting 1 thing into 15 things. - Grant

The toc information is coded in the adjacent .inf file. But how do you get cdda2wav to produce a single raw/inf pair instead of a pair for each track? I tried removing -B but it then only rips the first track. I don't understand your problem. Did you read the cdda2wav man page?

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} cdrdao's toc2cue question
I patched cdrdao to recognize certain CD-TEXT types for its toc file creation with the info here: http://www.lackhead.org/2007/05/patch-for-cdrdao-122-cd-text-causing-crash/ but toc2cue fails to execute on such a toc file with a series of these: ERROR: CD/cdda.toc:36: Invalid CD-TEXT item for a track. What do you like to do? Did you try cdda2wav and cdrecord? The CUE format interpreter in cdrdao is known to be incomplete. I'm using a script I wrote to rip a CD twice (each rip creating a binary file and toc file), compare the two rips with cmp, convert the toc to cue with toc2cue, create a single FLAC file with flac, and split the FLAC file into separate track files with cuebreakpoints. I'd be happy to post the script if anyone is interested. It works really well. I'm very concerned with having as perfect a copy of the original CD as possible. I read an article once about how cdrdao was the only method that seemed to get it right. - Grant

Just run: cdda2wav -vall -B -Owav cddb=0 paraopts=minoverlap=10 -paranoia then write the files using: cdrecord -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav This has the advantage that it splits into separate files at the correct locations. Note that cdda2wav is the only program I know that splits correctly. The CD-Text is inside the *.inf files. I'm very concerned with having as perfect a copy of the original CD as possible.

The types I need to add are: CDTEXT_DISK_ID CDTEXT_GENRE CDTEXT_TOC_INFO1 CDTEXT_TOC_INFO2 CDTEXT_RES1 CDTEXT_RES2 CDTEXT_RES3 CDTEXT_RES4 CDTEXT_SIZE_INFO I filed a Gentoo bug here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238891 I think I just need a file location.
