I like to end up with a raw/toc pair of files to act as a raw backup
of the CD, and a series of individual FLAC files for each track.  For
the individual files, would you do that like this:

# cdda2wav -B -Oraw
# rm audio.cddb
# rm audio.cdindex
# rm *.inf
# flac --best --endian=big --sign=signed --channels=2 --bps=16
--sample-rate=44100 --verify CD/audio_*.raw

How would you generate a raw/toc(inf?) pair for backup?
