The clone copy mode of cdrecord is definitely worse for audio CDs than using cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -paranoia and writing using cdrecord. It makes sense to be used for "other" type CDs with complex unknown strucure. > I'm wondering if there is a program that can verify the contents of > each CD against each other, bit for bit, to identify whether this is a > problem on all of my computers or whether it's something about my > car's CD.

The car player may be dusty or broken (worn out laser). You may try better quality blank media ;-) To verify playability, you may call: cdrecord -minfo to check the media state and "readcd -c2scan" to check the readability.
