Jörg,
Thanks for your reply. As late as November 2012 I always used the CLI
for copying *data* CDs, using cdrecord and readcd. But though I read
and studied manpages and scads of documentation, I never had any luck
cloning a music CD using these commands. So I'd doubt I could figure
out on my own, in addition to cloning a CD, adding in the song titles etc.
I guess I wasn't clear about ripping a CD. Grip, as I said handles this
fine, including downloading the cddb data. So if I wanted to create wav
(or ogg or other) files, I could use grip. But for some CDs, a series
of wav files just doesn't play back well; I'm talking about music in
which one track blends into the following track with no break in
between. These don't play back well because audio players insert a
break (perhaps because they need a second or so to load that second
track) and, in addition, often this break isn't in a good moment. So
I've decided to just burn the entire CD to avoid hearing the breaks. So
is it even possible to save the cddb data to a copied CD?
