Some mixed mode CDs are ripped with an unknown audio track format

[nergall]

Hi,

 

When ripping some old CDs I have, I noticed that some audio tracks are marked as follows:

 

ISRC TCJAA1940???

 

These images also can't be mounted with any virtual drives I tried.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks!

If that ISRC is wrong, it's because the drive is reporting it incorrectly.

 

I can't see an issue with the rest of it.

 

CDDA is only ever in one format, it can't be 'unknown'.

 

Can you attach the CUE it produced please?

I tried dumping three mixed mode CDs and one audio CD, and while the audio CD's ISRCs were correct and caused no issues, all three CUEs of the mixed mode CDs contained an invalid ISRC that starts with TC and ends with a question mark (it was the same ISRC for all tracks), which prevented the images from mounting in Alcohol 52%. If I change the ? to a digit, or remove the ISRC lines entirely, the images can be mounted correctly. 

So this seems to be an issue with mixed mode CDs (at least), and while it might be the drive's fault, the solution can be to not include ISRC in CUE files if they contain an illegal character such as a question mark.
