Muse Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) It is very odd. Sometimes Imgburn offers to create .bin file and sometimes .iso file when I rip an audio CD. I can't figure out how or why it decides this. I have always AFAIK wanted a .bin file. If it offers to create a .iso file and I make a name like myartist_title.bin it still says it's creating a .iso file. To be sure I'm getting a .bin file I need to click the dropdown and select .bin instead of .iso. This is frustrating. I have hunted in the Tools/Settings' tabs and can't find where I can configure Imgburn to offer to create a .bin file instead of a .iso file. I figure it must be there somewhere but I can't find it. What am I missing? Edited June 9, 2021 by Muse
dbminter Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 The only thing I could think of as to why an Audio CD might be saved as an ISO is it's not technically an Audio CD but a Mixed Mode CD, an Audio CD track with another track for data files. I'm not entirely sure, but that may be the case.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 It'll use ISO for single session / track (mode 1 track) discs. For other CDs, it'll default to BIN (with the accompanying CUE file). I don't recall ever adding a setting that tells it to always use BIN/CUE - even for basic discs where ISO is easier and usually preferable.
Muse Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 I don't recall ever ripping audio CDs to ISO. I rip to BIN/CUE because I almost always add or tweak CD Text and I don't know if that's even possible if I rip to ISO.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 It isn't, which is why the program wouldn't choose ISO for an Audio CD.
