Dunno what a windows user would do with this file. Usually raw cdr files
are one per audio track. 

If I'm ripping audio CDs, I just save them as ogg (or potentially flac
if I really really want lossless transfer).

If you really want the windows user to be able to duplicate the disc as
closely as possible, you might want to use cdrdao at the command line to
generate a bin/cue pair:

cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile filename.bin filename.toc

You may need to fiddle with that command line further to add the address
of your drive: http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/#toc11
