Thanx Andy.
I do know what wav files are.
I was hoping to delete them and use just the one
file which krb says is the image. I was under the
impression it would produce a .img file. But I was
disappointed. Apparently becase an audio CD is
made of multiple tracks, once cannot create a .img
or a .iso of it.
Try this dd if=/dev/sr0 of=cdimage.iso
