The span argument
The cdparanoia command takes exactly one argument, which
describes how much of the CD to record. It uses numbers followed
by bracketed times to designate track numbers and time within
them. For example, the string 1[2:23]-2[5] indicates a recording
from the two-minute and twenty-three-second mark of the first
track up to the fifth second of the second track. The time format is
demarcated by colons, hours:minutes:seconds:.sectors, with the last
item, sectors, preceded by a decimal point (a sector is 1/75 of a
second). It’s best to put this argument within quotes.
If you use the -B option, the span argument is not required.

Write all content specified in description file toc-file to a CD-R disk
drive in one step. This is called disk-at-once (DAO) mode, as
opposed to the more commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode.
DAO mode allows you to change the length of gaps between tracks
and define data to be written in these gaps (like hidden bonus
tracks or track intros). ...
