that's where the RockRidge extension comes into the picture - those 
annoying TRANS.TBL files (or whatever their name is) give out the right 
names. anyway, most CDR softwares have the ability to copy an entire CD 
to the internal HD (or other dedicated one) and write it all back as an 
image, without looking at the contents.

I am sure there is a much cheaper way though... I just ordered from the 
US 8 sets of InfoMagik's 4CD set, and it is less than $25 for a package 
like that (P&H included) which is the price of a single yet-unused CDR 
media disk in Israel... further more, my Quad speed has reading problems 
with CDRs...
