I've seen two methods posted lately.  One used cdrdao to just grab the
toc file (read-toc) and then use cdparanoia piped to flac to generate
the flac.

Here you are using the bin file extracted by cdrdao instead.

My question has to do with the toc file.  cdrdao generates a different
toc file with just using read-toc vs. read-cd.

    $ diff read-cd.toc read-toc.toc | grep FILE | head
    < FILE "data.bin" 0 02:07:72
    > FILE "data.wav" 0 02:07:40
    < FILE "data.bin" 02:07:72 02:44:50
    > FILE "data.wav" 02:07:40 02:44:50
    < FILE "data.bin" 04:52:47 02:54:03
    > FILE "data.wav" 04:52:15 02:54:03
    < FILE "data.bin" 07:46:50 03:59:07
    > FILE "data.wav" 07:46:18 03:59:07
    < FILE "data.bin" 11:45:57 03:44:48
    > FILE "data.wav" 11:45:25 03:44:48

I assume that's due to wav file headers?  But both methods use
--cuesheet option, but the cuesheets are different depending on if you
used read-cd vs. read-toc.  Am I missing some key point or is this a
problem?  Or does flac see that it's raw input and adjust the
cuesheet?


BTW -- anyone have a script for going the other way -- back to CDR. Do you just 
use
--force-raw-format to write out a bin file, metaflac to extract out
the cue sheet, cueconvert to convert to toc and then run cdrdao?  Oh,
I guess cdrdao can use cue sheets.

What about when I have ripped into separate flac files and also have
the original toc from cdrdao read-toc?  Just write as separate wav
files and edit the toc for each file name?  Or is there some kind of
"catwav" program to join them before burning with cdrdao?
