cdrdao

Read a CD and write contents to a file

$ cdrdao read-cd --device [/dev/cdrom] --read-raw [image.toc]

cdrdao command [options] toc-file

cdrdao reads and writes CDs in disc-at-once (DAO) mode. Unlike track-at-once recording, DAO writes the entire disc in a single operation, preserving exact sector timing and allowing accurate copies of audio CDs.
The tool uses TOC (Table of Contents) files to describe disc layout, which can represent complex disc structures including multi-session and mixed-mode discs.
