IIRC, there used to be a dd-like tool, maybe cdrescue? (a Linux command-line tool), that would recheck the data extracted, and then do a "best of n" check on any spurious sectors of the disc.

It's been at least 10 years since I had a CD/DVD drive though, so it might have been a mode of one of the dd_rescue/ddrescue/dd-rescue programs??

Probably just ddrescue by GNU, which can also be used on CD drives.

For audio CDs, I've always used EAC [1] with secure mode. I believe I even used it within Wine. It yielded better results than cdrecord.

Morgoth, FlashFXP, Preee, hkSFV, DCPP, and all that beautiful Windows software also worked in Wine.
