Your "CD player app" is probably using a CDDB server, whose keys are
based on the total length of the disk and the track start locations;
the ISRC numbers are hit-or-miss, especially with older CDs.
If you record in "track at once" mode, there will be silences inserted
between the tracks, which will change the CDDB key computed from the
disc. Try recording in "disk at once" mode (cdrecord -dao ...).
For what it's worth, my prefered tool for simply copying an audio CD is
cdrdao (locatable through freshmeat.net), which does the deed in two steps:
# cdrdao read-cd --device 0,3,0 --datafile bach0507.bin bach0507.toc
# cdrdao write --device 0,4,0 bach0507.toc
(0,3,0 is my Plextor CD reader, 0,4,0 is the Yamaha burner). The resulting
disk is usually correctly identified, except when the original had less
than 2 seconds of lead-in, in which case all bets are off.
