Hi all! I did just burn a cd and it turned out quite nicely. I did the following: used cdda2wav to make individual files of the tracks, but with the -O cdr option so they made .cdr files. 2. Typed cdrecord dev=0,0,0 audio_01.cdr -audio audio_02.cdr (etc) to track 10 Originally, I tried dev+/dev/cdrecord:0,0,0 but got errors about read-only file system; not sure why as it isn't read-only but the other worked so ok. I don't have any nasty clicks between gaps or anything; it sounds really nice. However, abcde in general and cdparanoia in particular still don't like my setup unless I am root. Of course, I did the burn as root, but abcde has allways worked for me as user and as it goes out to cddb and grabs track information I would prefer to not be doing abcde as root. It is possible to do this and then turn ownership of the artist directory over to the user in whose home directory it is, but I'd prefer to be able to do it as user. Well, at least I found something that works.
