How-to: Copying Audio CD in Mac OS X?

How do I copy an Audio CD in Mac OS X? I was looking at Apple's DiskCopy program and it only gives the options of making a Mac OS, Mac OS Extended, UNIX, and MS-DOS disk image. Is there a way to actually copy an audio CD like Adaptec Toast does in Mac OS 9? I've got some CD's I just want to copy for archival purposes (really) and I don't want to convert them to MP3 and burn back to disk using iTunes. Though this is easy to do, I would be losing some quality which is not acceptable.

in iTunes, open the preferences, and then importing. Where it says "mp3 encoder" switch that to AIFF encoder. then make a playlist of your cd and burn another one from that playlist.

plus there's toast for os x, of course. but don't update to 5.1.4, only to 5.1.3. the newest update breaks audio-cd copying, afaik. something to do with digital rights management. bullsh... they still let you make MP3 cds?! well, whatever. iTunes AIFF is okay.
