I use XCDRoast (0.98A9) for everything except for reading cd images, as I found that the MD5sums wern't matching up. for that, I use "dd" and it works great, with the checksums matching and everything. I don't know if it matters to anyone but "readcd" does not produce MD5sum verfiable output, i.e., they Don't match. Also, with each iteration of cdda2wav > cdrecord, (read audio, burn audio,...) the MD5sums change as well. Perhaps someone would shed some light on this.
