cdrdao
cdrdao is a command-line tool used for reading and writing CD data.
cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disc-at-once mode based on a textual description of the CD contents known as a TOC file. cdrdao runs from command line and has no graphical user interface, except for third-party ones such as K3b (Linux), Gcdmaster (Linux) or XDuplicator (Windows).
cdrdao 1.1.9 is included with some releases of Exact Audio Copy 1.3, however versions 1.2.0 and earlier have issues reading certain CD-Text values, so may not always work.
