I have downloaded some music-but it is ISO format. How do I convert it to MP3 format and what software do I need? Many thanks
ISO is not really a file format. It's an image. You can open it and extract the contents. Use a virtual drive to mount the ISO, or open it with something similar to Isobuster. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/iso-image
I have these files downloaded onto my pc., I have found that I can play them-but how do I convert them to MP3 format and burn to a cd?? Many thanks
I don't know - the ISO file is just an image and can hold anything. Once you extract or open the ISO what are the files inside? Is it an audio CD? Or something else? The answer to your question depends on the contents.
I have now managed to open the iso files and they reveal the audio files are in the WV format-now I cannot convert them to MP3, as no converting software seems to recognise them!!
How big are these files? If it's reasonable, post one to a file hosting site and I'll take a look at it. Try mediafire.com. Upload one of them and put the link in here.
These files are more than 500mb!! I have tried mediafire and various other online storage sites and none seem to offer free storage for individual files greater than 500mb!! Many thanks for your help - I don't know if I could email one of the files?? Regards Chris
No - it's to big. I was thinking not of the whole file, but the individual songs inside. Can't you separate them ? Uncompressed CD audio is 10MB per minute.
The tracks have been compressed into one file of 550mb (three files)!! It would appear that I have managed to find an online storage place and have successfully uploaded one of the files (took about 6 hours to upload)!! here is url: http://www.woofiles.com/dl-197604-ZcrqplAG-SandraThePlatinumCollectionCD32009.iso.wv Am grateful if you can make anything of it!! Regards Chris
I recognized it once I saw the file name. I don't know how to extract the files directly, but there's another way. Install the Burrrn package. http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Burrrn-Download-19908.html Open burrrn and set the drive. Then hit ADD, and navigate to the folder where you saved the WV files. Open the CUE file if there is one, otherwise open the VW file directly. Burn the compilation to CD (or CD-RW). It's then a simple matter to rip the CD and create the mp3's.
The easiest way is to burn the ISO to a CD then rip it. You might find some kind of utility that can rip straight from ISO. In any case be very wary if you got the ISO from an unreliable source. That is a great way to infect a computer. If you downloaded it that may be what they are trying to do or the giver was a complete moron. The virus can infect your computer but the virus protection can't do much to protect you because it is on a read only disk. You might look into Sandboxie. It can be down loaded from this site. Rip and archive the files in a zip or rar file and copy it onto a USB stick and remove it otherwise Sandboxie will eliminate all traces to what was done on your computer. You can then scan the archive for viruses. Now that you can scan it but it can't hurt you.
When you open can you play the wav files?..And if you can play them, what SW did you use to try and convert?.. B/C you should be able to use 7zip for instance, and un-zip the ISO, to extract the wav(s), and convert them..
