Do any of the tools mentioned in the title support audio and/or multi-session disc formats? AFAIK dd is not suitable for these purposes (although the original author mentions they wish to create ISO images so presumably they only care about single session data).
Windows had a lot of great disc software in the 90s/00s which would handle just about any disc format one would encounter, e.g. Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, Disc Juggler. Some of these were capable of backing up the various protections of the time such as SecureROM and Starforce.
dd is a powerful tool but I often find it the "wrong" tool, e.g. is it desired to clone a 2GB partition layout to a 128GB usb stick for a live CD and have to manually edit my partition tables myself?
