Looks to me like you use abcde to make oggs and then convert them.  I'm 
not sure what a cdr is, is it one file per song or one for the whole CD.

But anyway, the data coming off your audio CD is wav and you let abcde 
convert it to ogg.  You should just make it wav in the first place and 
it would be pretty close to CD quality.  If you want the oggs too you 
can use keepwav in the abcde.conf.  Maybe that will help.

The one time I did this years ago cdparanoia was the best ripper but 
didn't produce info files for cdrecord (those help cdrecord get the 
track separation right, otherwise you'd get 2 seconds of blank between 
each track).  So I used cdparanoia to rip and cdda2wav to make the info. 
  Cumbersome but it gave me a pretty good reproduction.  Maybe none of 
that's necessary now.
