cdrecord k3b audio cd elapsed time problem

Hi,

When I copy an audio cd using cdrecord or k3b, it seems to go without problems. However, it won't play properly in most cd players. The first track plays okay - elapsed time starts at 0:00, and goes up until the end of the song. But when it gets to the second track, the elapsed time counter shows -100 minutes, and keeps going forward from there. When it gets to the next song, the counter continues from where it left off at the last song - if the second track was 2 minutes 30 seconds, the counter starts at -97:30, and keeps going. It continues like this for the rest of the CD. Fast forward and rewind work properly. But, if I try to skip to the next or previous track, it goes to that track, the elapsed time (correctly) goes to 0:00, and it won't play. I've found I can make it play from there if I rewind - it goes into the last track, and will play from that point.

Has anybody seen this, or know why it's happening? I've seen this behavior with many different versions of cdrecord and k3b - the latest I've tried is from Fedora core 3 - cdrecord 2.01.1 and k3b 0.11.14. This happens when I use k3b to copy k3b, and when I use cdda2wav-cdparanoia-cdrecord to copy from the command line. The process I'm using is:

cdda2wav -v255 -Ddev-cdrom -B I only use this to get .infs, I cancel when it starts writing wavs rm *.wav cdpranoia -B rename all the trackx.cdda.wav files to audiox.wav cdrecord -v dev=-dev-cdrom speed=24 driveropts=burnfree -dao -text -useinfo *.wav

Is there something wrong with the process I'm using? Why is this also happening when I copy the cd in k3b? It seems to work okay, except for the problem above. The cds also tend to play correctly using most cd playing programs in computers, although I've seen a few older ones show the same behavior I see in standalone players.
