Only works for data CDs that have only 1 session on them.  Fails=20
miserably for audio CDs, CDs with copy-prevention garbage, VCDs, SVCDs,=20
CDs with multiple sessions, and so forth.  Not recommended unless you=20
know your source CD is totally vanilla.

Still not valid for the general case.  The general way to copy any CD is=20
to do "cdrdao copy --device X,Y,Z" with the source CD in device X,Y,Z,=20
then follow the prompts.  You can also use the read-cd command to=20
create BIN+CUE files using cdrdao (though the CUE file will be called a=20
TOC file by default--just rename it.)  HTH,
