Hello, guys, I have a data+audio ISO image and want to rip the audio tracks without burning a CD-RW first. In Windows I could use Alcohol 120%, but I really don't know about what to do in Linux... I wished to use cdparanoia, but I'm stuck. can somebody help me please?

Sorry, I didn't get it... But anyway, I once tried to mount it and rip the tracks with cdparanoia, but that was just the point. I had the image mounted, but then how to rip the tracks? I couldn't do it the same way I do with audio CDs.
Use losetup to create a loop device node for the ISO image. Then use cdparanoia with the force drive option with the loop device node. Though I have not tried it this way.
Oh, I get it now (mixed-mode). My bad. Sounds like you're on the right track with losetup, but I would think you'd need to isolate the first session (or whichever your audio is on), no?
Yeah, no problem, of course... but I'm still trying to access the disk via /dev/loop0. I've seen some people said the same about losetup, but to access files contained in ISO images (that is not the way I do...). The search continues

Best of luck to you. I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread, as even though I'm pretty clueless in this area, I do find this dilema of yours really interesting and want to see how it plays out. It would be great if someone like AwesomeMachine would run into this thread, as I have a feeling he could set us straight in no time (he's some kind of block device guru from what I've seen).
Tredegar, I don't think you have misunderstood the question. When I saw your post, I thought: "but that won't work". And I tried. I saw lame encoded a track from the ISO and so I couldn't believe it was so easy and so obvious. It was unbelieveble! But when I heard the file generated by lame, there was just a white noise on it ... I tried the same with .bin images too, without success. Already tried to just listen to the tracks with kscd (the cdda# files where there) using the tricks people have told here.
This is strange for me: I see some people tell on the web that ISO images can't hold audio tracks alongside with a data track (they say that kind of image must be .bin, .mdf/mds or the like), but I have at least 2 ISO images like that, and they are working.
Thank all the people helping me. I'm still trying. I could just flip to Windows and use software like the Daemon Tools, but I'm sure we can do it with Linux too!! Freedom for all!
