Muchos gracias. I had found grip before and completely forgotten about
it. I installed it, but never used it. I guess the basic scoop from this
is that you rip to one format and then covert that back to cdda when you
put it on a new disk. No wonder I didn't see anything in the docs about
grabbing an image and burning it. Since I had only used cdrecord for
file system images, I was stuck on something like that being the way.

Also thanks for the info on audacity. Hadn't heard of it and that will
work great.

Peace, William
