It could be that your distro is not correctly identifying the CD change.
 This is to be expected since audio CDs (Red Book format) don't have a
file system or even any "files".  Your distro has to guess and can guess
wrong.

There is error correction and duplicate data encoded as well, and given
the CD drive quality (spindle speed variance, jitter), you should really
rip the audio CD with cdparanoia etc.  You will get the correct wav file
extracted and converted to PCM wav format.

the terminolgy "rip" just means raw data extraction, not
encodeng/converting to another format. Hence the phrase, "to rip and
convert (or encode)." All CD audio rippers allow you to simply pull the
raw audio data without conversion, perform error correction, etc. Also,
as a side benefit, many can connect to a CDDB database and provide
artist and track names, which you can have the ripper automatically
apply to the filename instead of track001.wav
