GreenMartian Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I asked this question in UbuntuForums, but wasn't expecting to get anything from there. I was hoping neowin, with its broader audience would know something about this. So I managed to create ISO+TOC files from my music CDs. Brasero also burns them fine to blanks as backups in case my originals crap out on me. The problem I have is, I do not want to re-read the CDs (slow) to rip them to Vorbis for daily listening, when I already have the ISOs in my hard drive (faster read than the CD drive, obviously). Is there a way to rip ogg straight from the iso files? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 So basically you need to mount the ISO images, then either playback the whole CD, or rip individual tracks from it? This page has a neat script for mounting ISO images. Then I guess you could use something like Sound Juicer to do the ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMartian Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks, but I've wen't through just almost all ISO-mounting techniques on the net, and most of them said that audio ISOs are not mountable; And that iso9660 data are actually a layer built on top of the audio layer. Which makes mount -o loop -t iso9660 moot for audio CDs, because they are not built on an iso9660 filesystem. I should really try mounting them in Windows with DTools. I'll try to make a quick windows VM, and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Did you also try CDEmu? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMartian Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 No, never heard of it. But I'll certainly try it now. Cheers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey_snake Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why don't you archive into a more manageable lossless format like FLAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMartian Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Because I was just dumping everything in this house, including game CDs etc to ISO files, and was "delegating" the task to a few people :p (they'd get lost having to do different stuff to different kinds of CD/DVD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
