Are you using recent original software or are you using an outdated, dead
and defective fork that is distributed by some non-OpenSource oriented 
Linux sources?

If you are using this bad fork that is from September 2004 - 9 years ago, you 
suffer from many problems, like incomplete documentation and many bugs  that 
cannot be found in the original software.

Programs like grip and cdparanoia don't care about the usability of the 
extracted files for later burning tasks and they are not able to extract so 
called "un-CDs".

cdda2wav knows about the writing process, feteches cddb data and includes a 
bug-fixed libparanoia.

Recent man pages also contain several related examples. Did you read a recent 
manpage and follow the EXAMPLE section?
