Mount the ISO with a virtual drive tool, then rip from that virtual drive. Alcohol 52% Free Edition probably supports multitrack images.

But be warned! Do not configure AccurateRip to use the virtual drive, press cancel or remove the AR.dll temporarily. Else all your AR past and future submissions will be removed and your computer ID banned: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=71338

Just to clarify - by being "banned" your submissions will never be added to the database, you'll still be able to leech, just not contribute.
And since robust error checking is likely out the window, since you're ripping from images, I would suggest using AccurateRip.  I just would do this job on a secondary computer, since I have many rare(er) discs I'd hate to see go bye bye.

Rip to lossless and check with CueTools.  It will compensate for the offset that surely exists in your image without any penalty.

An even better solution which still accomplishes the same goals!

Ignorant question time. Could you use the ISO file to re-create an audio CD and then rip that disk? Or is the ISO treated as a data disk rather than audio? If that is the case, how was the ISO originally created?

I'm not too into the world of CD image tools, but for DVD and bluray, Alcohol (and Daemon Tools) are not well regarded, mainly because they install the SPTD driver, which can have a negative effect in drive speed. We use Virtual Clone Drive from Slysoft. It's free too. SPTD by the way is a bitch to remove (well not really, but it makes it harder than it should).

You're only introducing two sources of errors by doing that, significantly slowing down the process, and gaining nothing in return.
Greynol's suggested workflow accomplishes the goals (ripping, then AcurrateRip check) in a very reasonable manner.

I'm using older Daemon Tools 3.47 which doesn't have the SPTD shite, works nicely. And is even better with "awxDTools 1.0.5 build 072" app (for DT 3.x).. a nice explorer context menu mount/unmount for images.. no need to run the main app at all.

Even if you "uninstall" it with the separate SPTD installer, it's left in the system enabled but startup disabled.  ("device manager" -> "non-plug and play drivers") Somebody should tell them that uninstall is not "turn off".

Do it as greynol suggested. Check with CUETools afterwards, since it can detect wrong offsets. You won't get any useful results when using AR with EAC anyway because of the wrong offset which is in the image for sure, you will only get your AR submissions deleted.

Also you should use burst mode with the virtual drive, not that using secure mode is really slow at all. But there's no gain in using secure mode whatsoever, unless your harddrive is broken...

I'm using Slysoft's Virtual CloneDrive, too, for the same reason. But I think it doesn't support audio CD rips. It does not support CUE sheets, for sure. So that's why I didn't mention it but Alcohol instead, of which I know that it supports at least cue/wav image rips.

But an audio CD ripped as an ISO... is that even possible? For answering his question and not getting too specific I just assumed it is possible...

...but since this is HA.org everything has to be discussed in tiniest details.

EDIT: ImgBurn refuses to use the .iso file extension for an image of an audio CD. Let's see if Virtual CloneDrive can mount a .bin rip of an audio CD...
EDIT2: Yes. Virtual CloneDrive can mount the .bin file. But it is a corrupt disc. VCD cannot mount the cue sheet which was created by ImgBurn. Audio CDs are always multi-track discs, ISO files are usually 1-track data CDs. So I don't know how you could have possible end up with an ISO image of an audio CD.

"ISO images do not support multi-track, thus they cannot be used for audio CDs, VCD, and hybrid audio CDs" - ISO image

The old DTools 3.47 can mount cue/wav. Is there a reason you guys are not using it? Too old? Works perfectly in my system. Usually I want to keep all apps updated but sometimes there's no gain to update, only pain.

Virtual CloneDrive works fine for me. I don't need to mount audio rips. I just need a way to access data CD/DVD rips without unpacking the damn beasts.

BTW, andy o... ever heard of the ElbyCDIO Driver?

I never even wondered if Audio CD ISOs were possible. Doesn't it depend on the program you use to make them though? BTW I mentioned the SPTD issue because that's one thing that someone might regret installing later and will have to go out of his/her way to get rid of it.

BTW Grim Fandango was the last great PC game I ever played. I hate what FPS have done to the industry!

Yeah, a ripper can pack anything into an image file and still name it ISO. Imgburn supports audio CD ripping but thinks for some reason ISO is only for Mode 2 images.

about FPS: currently I'm replaying Crysis...

Yeah, but are there any problems with it? Doesn't seem to affect performace for me at least. I don't know if it's hard to get rid of, cause I've never even had a reason to try! Also, if there are problems, the Slysoft people are quick to respond and fix issues.

I can't tell, I've had no problems with either SPTD nor with ElbyCDIO. And I haven't uninstalled Virtual CloneDrive yet to see if it uninstall its driver, too.

PS: I think OP uses Linux... so if his image mounts as an audio CD using the loop device then all this is of no importance to him anyway.

I had problems with SPTD way back then when it was put to the DTools app, can't remember exactly what is was but something along the lines of that I couldn't rip anything with EAC. Wasted many hours then trying to figure out what happened to my system. Damn DTools. And some time ago there was one dude in REACT thread who had the same problem. Never had any problems with Slysoft driver.

OT: Grim Fandango.. what a story, humor, action, drama, superb characters (Glottis is great), voice-acting, good puzzles, everything.. I cried at the end, wow.  Even "direct-control" and "path finding problems" didn't spoil it even though I hate that in adv. games. Fortunately the genre is blooming again, great indie games as well as big production adventures.. life's good.
