The only difference I notice is that the read-toc command with the --fast-toc 
option picks up the correct ISRC code, whereas the read-cd command does not.  
Other than that, I've not seen any difference in the TOC files. This is why I 
use 'read-toc --fast-toc' to get the TOC file, and than I use cdparanoia to 
rip the entire disc to a single WAV file.

I must admit, though, that I'm still working out the process I'm going to use 
to rip my collection and I've only tested with a pretty small sample size of 
CDs thus far.  Perhaps the difference you're seeing is related to the 
particular disc or CD-ROM drive that you're using?

You can use shntool to concatenate WAV files, and many other types of audio 
files as well.
