In combination with an encoder, yes but cdparanoia is an audio cd reader with 
bells and whistles.
'nother clip from man page:-

DESCRIPTION
       cdparanoia retrieves audio tracks from CDDA capable CDROM drives.  The 
data can be saved
       to  a  file  or  directed  to  standard output in WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C or 
raw format.  Most
       ATAPI, SCSI and several proprietary CDROM drive  makes  are  supported;  
cdparanoia  can
       determine if the target drive is CDDA capable.

       In  addition to simple reading, cdparanoia adds extra-robust data 
verification, synchro-
       nization, error handling and scratch reconstruction capability.
