I have now managed this afternoon. I was using loose terminology - I just meant "an image of a CD's contents" VLC was not much good at converting a batch of .mp3 though ok one at a time. Free converters were looked at but thin on the ground and when I got an AV alert from one I retreated to safer ground and installed Audacity 1.3 There I used Export Multiple [Warning don't save any changes to input files - best secure them with read-only or safe copy first as meta-data at least might be adjusted by this approach] Then came back to ImgBurn and reconstructed the .cue file (also used the CD Text feature with WMPCDText in WMP and Track settings are OK but I had struggled with IMGBurn resetting fields when I wanted simple track names and my choice of Album/session title; I'll re-visit that...) Used Daemon tools to mount the .cue file and there it was - an Audio CD image which is mountable and appears to be burnable (with IMGBurn or otherwise)or saveable as CD Image. When I can, I will look into the other posted suggestion - so thanks for that. I have ISObuster on another machine and other ISO ware I will look at wrt .cue files. ========== Lightning: LOL - I got the Yoda message and if it is to be a .bin rather than a .iso I don't really care as long as I can back it up and burn it if necessary. I respect the fact that the correct implementation and terminology should be used though. Same issue identified by PortableUltraISO so I made a .nrg file. I also noted that laptop slimline drives aren't upto programmatic tray-load when I did the verify run. (I try not to use laptoys but right now I am.) I'm loving the cheeky popup messages from IMGburn whenever I do something unorthodox. Anyway, I have dug out a CD-RW and tested with that now and will be trying to get that Title Text fixed now.

Daemon Tools said it didn't like line 3 of the .cue file Daemon Tools help says: Can i mount an AUDIO cuesheet which refers to MP3 files? No, the files must be in *.wav format. We cannot see any sense in mounting MP3 files as they can played directly from HD anyway. ... Could be getting close ! Best convert those .mp3 then and then create a new .cue

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=7205 ...says go and use daemon tools. {Lightning UK wasn't sure why anyone would want an .iso of this ! well, I might not always have a computer handy (or working) but you are never more than 10 yards from a rat or a CD player ...well for the next 5 years still in the case of CD players) sigh, I have a copy of Daemon Tools somewhere...

Nope - just going round in circles again. I can make the .cue file I could write to a REAL drive starting from the .CUE file If I can make it, I can burn an .iso file using this software or any of many othes. What I CANNOT DO is generate a .iso file from a .cue file. I note there is a set of profiles for different manufacturers of burner - surely there should be one for "burning" to a .iso file too ? [using 2.5.5.0 version btw]

hmm ...found the correct Google incantation and last and this gave me just found http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555 I'll try again

I have a set of audio files from which I want to make a good old fashioned Audio CD. Without wasting a lot of real media, I want to produce a CD-image (I can mount images). I am trying to do this under Windows XP but have other systems real or virtual I could use. I came to imgburn because of its build facility - but that seems to relate to writing file-based optical discs and images therof. I can't see that imgburn is going to do this for me - so how I should I go about creating a .iso (.cdr or nrg ...) image holding CD-Audio format ? Thanks for you advice Mark
