Hi,

The way I do it is labor intensive.  I am OCD about this as well, so I have converted most of my CD/DVD based roms to cue/bin.

The way I do it is to use a virtual drive software (like Daemon Tools) and mount the image.  Then use FreeAnyBurn to rip them to cue/bin.  It will create a single bin file with all the audio included.

 

Thanks,

Ron

both formats?

Yes.

The three formats are like this.

 

cue file points to bin, img, mp3 or wav files.

The ideal setup is a single cue and single bin.  If the bin file does not have a cue as well, there will be no audio.

So I mount the cue and rip it to a single bin with a cue file.  Most ideal in my optinion.

 

mdf files should have an mds file.  This is equivalent to a cue file for the other format.  You mount the mdf file.

 

The last format is ccd.  It should also have an img and possibly a sub file also.  You mount the ccd files.  It is equivalent to the cue file as well.

 

I have one more set to finish up, it's huge.  My PS1 set is a mix of all three formst.  Many of the cue/bin images have multiple bin files each.

So my OCD is taking over again and I will get that set fixed up before the end of year. 

 

Thanks,

Ron
