No that's not what I meant by reading.

I meant before you actually write to a disc, you have to have the data from
your original disc somewhere right ?

What would you use to record that from the original disc ? That's what I
meant.

Sorry for the confusion.

You mean you want to copy the info off the CD and then re-record it?
Below is an old script I used to use to do this. Easily adaptable.
Everything is done with cdrdao.

I'll attach another one that I use to convert CDs to flac for my music
server. That one uses cdparanoia to rip the CD.

USAGE: $PROG [-h] [-r READDEVICE] [-w WRITEDEVICE] [FILENAME]
$PROG copies the cd in READDEVICE to one in WRITEDEVICE. The user can
choose the speed at which the copy is made, and multiple copies can be
made from a single read.

Argument:
FILENAME: The filename to use for storage of the CD image, toc, etc.
Defaults to "cd".

Options:
-d: Driver to use with cdrdao [defaults to generic-mmc]
-D: Show default drivers and exit.
-h: Print this message
-p: Set cdrdao --paranoia-mode [defaults to 0]
-r: Set the read device [defauts to $READ_DEVICE]
-R: --read-raw
-s: Set write speed [defaults to 1x]
-w: Set the write device [defauts to $WRITE_DEVICE]
-y: Assume yes (skip prompts).
The mentioned defaults may not make sense for your system. They can be
changed in $0.
