You can't cat wav files together. But you can tell cdparanoia to rip
the whole CD into a single wav file.
Or you could rip each track as a separate ogg, give them filenames that
are easily sort-able (e.g., "01_Title_Goes_Here.ogg"), and then play
them with something like "ogg123 *.ogg". This will give you gapless
playback, and at least in theory you can use SIGINT (^C) to skip to
the next track -- or, of course, you could just play individual oggs.
Finally, you could rip each track as a separate wav/ogg, and then
literally cat the oggs together into one giant ogg file. (Unlike wavs,
oggs can be catted.) I don't know of any players that will let you
skip to the next vorbis stream in a multi-stream ogg file (yet), but at
least the title display will change when the stream changes -- assuming
you put comments in them -- and of course it will still be gapless.
