creating iso image from waveburner

... the so called ".iso" file suffix is in fact an ".lso" suffix, an "L" not an "I"... It is the suffix logic uses to distinguish Logic SOngs or projects (an "L" an "S" and an "O") - this means it is not a audio-file but a kind of logic "document" which includes the original audio files, midi data etc, plus all the stuff you did with them- only viewable in logic with its own user and graphical interface. So I guess its a conversion Waveburner isn't built to make give it assumes you created all those songs in logic anyhow... I admit it doesn't make sense though.

I would like to know this too - it seems like it should be possible somehow.

An ISO is just a disk image, but conveniently XPlatform. Try this:

Burn your CD. Create a disk image of your CD, using Disk Utility, and save it to your desktop.

Open terminal.

type

cd ~/Desktop
hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o YourCDName.iso YourCDName.cdr

There's probably a better way, but this should work ok.

Oops! The conversion I mention above is for a folder full of songs. To convert a .dmg to .iso use this:

hdiutil convert /location/CDName.dmg -format UDTO -o /location/CDName.iso

Change your /location/CDName.dmg to the location and name of the existing .dmg file, and replace /location/CDName.iso with the location/name for the new .iso image.

It is not possible to make an .iso of an audio CD, on any operating system, with any software. 🙂

An audio CD does not use the iso9660 file system, nor can you actually 'mount' an audio cd, though that is another discussion for another day.

True, it won't be an Audio CD, but there's no reason why you can't save the files that constitute an Audio CD as data. And of course you can make a disc image of data. I do it all the time (I call it "backing-up"). Mounting the disc image will not result in an Audio CD appearing on your desktop, obviously; but the files will still be playable.

I think we're missing the point, though!
