Description Henry Pfeil 2024-05-07 15:37:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
Audio CD "Copy Medium" does not produce an iso image like it does with data CDs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert audio CD
2. Choose Copy Medium
3. Options - choose "Only Create Image"

OBSERVED RESULT
Creates new folder with the name of the Image File that contains ripped tracks titled Track0#.wav, e.g, Track01.wav, Track02.wav,....

EXPECTED RESULT
Create an iso image of the audio CD.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version:  5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.115.0
Qt Version:  6.6.30 (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If the CD contains data files, Copy Medium creates an iso image as advertised.

Status - RTFM
If you want a CD image, in addition to choosing "Only Create Image," under the Options tab for "Copy Medium," Change "Normal Copy" to "Clone Copy"; under "Writing Mode" choose  RAW.
Comment 2 Henry Pfeil 2024-05-07 15:54:19 UTC 
Correction: "Writing Mode" is greyed out when "Copy Mode" is changed to "Clone Copy."
Comment 3 Henry Pfeil 2024-05-07 22:37:15 UTC 
From Dolphin, Removable Devices, double-click "Audio CD" which opens audiocd:/?device=/dev/sr0. Choose "Full CD/Full CD.wav".
Kioexec opens the file in Videolan's VLC (or whatever is your default for playing wav files), pause the playback. Then
`cp -v ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/xxxxx-0/Full\ CD.wav <path/title.wav>"  Et voila!

I had to resort to such trickery because the k3b Clone tool produces two files, bin and toc, which needs to be converted before players like Elisa can read it. (toc2wav did nothing) I can do no further menu-tree testing because of  k3b bug 486754. There might be something in k3b that produces a single wav file, but I can't find it. Ddrescue takes a couple of days to rescue bit rot; I'll not interrupt that process for an application gone wacky when kioexec does what I want out of the box.
