right, but as soon as you enter the territory of audio tracks you have to ensure that reads are repeatable, and also take into consideration audio offsets of drives etc. if you want a proper dump.
just because you can read a disc doesn't mean you're getting a proper repeatable read of it with all the data intact, it's important that you can get the exact same file by reading the disc multiple times.
at the very least you have to be able to get an identical dump, including the audio tracks, multiple times, but even then without the correct offset etc. you'll get different reads of the same disc on different drives, so it's still not perfect.
dumping CDs is actually quite a complex subject, which is why you have all these dumping groups fighting over what is / isn't correct etc.
