Copying Audio CD without Ripping first

I want to copy audio cd's but not have to rip them first.
Just make an exact copy of the original
I tried copying the files from the original to the desktop and then to a blank CD, also tried using Disk Copy....I now have a coasters.

any ideas???

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty - so to speak - then this might be for you:

Otherwise you probably need to get hold of a shareware CD burner.

Unless you have a second CD drive though I can't see what you gain by not just letting iTunes do it for you as you will still need to copy the files off the audio CD into a temporary location and then burning the CD using those files. If you change the iTunes import setting to AIFF then you will achieve the same thing (i.e no loss of quality) without all the messing about.

Thanks,
I thought there may be some simple way that I was missing.
