Just a note to say thank you for all your input and apologies for going off topic a little to those that were not interested. I have come away with a little more information and understanding than I had before. thanks

The recent discussions about archiving CDs with flac prodded me to get
abcde working again. I've filed a debian bug report with patches to the
latest abcde that enable generating a toc file from the disc with cdrdao
(rips CD-TEXT data and creates index points from subcode data).
Combined with my patches to toc2cue, this is enough to rip even
"problem" discs (track 1 doesn't start at frame 0) and wind up
with
(hopefully) enough data to re-create the original CD with great accuracy.
The patches and more details on use are available via the debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389975
For those who can't do the patch/compile thing, I've got a statically
linked version of toc3cue (should work on most any linux disto) and a
patched version of abcde on my website:
toc3cue:
http://www.steinkuehler.net/abcde/toc3cue
abcde:
http://www.steinkuehler.net/abcde/abcde.svn.toc
You might also need to look at my abcde.conf to see how I've got things
setup:
http://www.steinkuehler.net/abcde/abcde.conf
NOTES:
I'm currently passing flac the '-S X' switch to avoid inserting
seekpoints other than those created from the cuefile import (at disc
track/index points). You may or may not want this behavior.
You'll probably also want to change the sample offset passed to
cdparanoia to match your drive! :)
