Trouble extracting data (mp3's) from an ISO

[Hypnotised]

I have an ISO of Steely Dan - Gaucho in 5.1 from a DVD-Audio disc. I extracted the ISO from a zip file. I've tried numerous methods to extract the mp3's from it, but unsuccessfully. I tried MagicISO, with no luck. PowerISO is only a Trial version which will extract HALF of the data. Not sure if I want to pay for the software if I can do this for free. I have Daemon Tools Pro Trial Version, but I'm just not getting it to work. I guess I don't get the whole 'Virtual Drive' concept, or "Mounting' to a virtual drive, and all that stuff. I tried and tried. It's not working. I created two Virtual Drives with Daemon, and extracted the data using Daemon, but where is it?? Its nowhere. In Virtual land?? I now have the original ISO of the album (which is 2.44 G which seems a little high to me!) and an MDX file of the exact same stamp, also 2.44 G's. Do I need to install a DVD writer on my hard drive and burn it to a DVD-R since the ISO is nearly 2.5 G, and a CD-R only holds 700 MB? Isn't there a way of extracting that data without burning it to a DVD-R first. I read online that Daemon Tools Pro would do it since the ISO is already on my hard drive, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm a little exasperated with this.
Thanks.

First: is this WAREZ? Because if it is, that's a NO-NO here.

2nd: (assuming it isn't warez), Open the ISO in ISOBuster and post a printscreen of the layout. Then we could help further.

If memory serves me, I think 7-zip can extract ISO files.

WAREZ? I don't even know what that is. It's not WAREZ.


First of all, I finally found those two 'virtual drives" I created and extracted the ISO to with Daemon Tools Pro. I guess that did work, sort of. (I deleted one of them.) The album is in there, because it says the drive is 2.44 G, which is the exact size of the ISO. Only problem is, when I try to open it in RealPlayer, I get a "General Error" message, and it says the "Parameters are incorrect.". It won't even open in my Power DVD player.
I've attached that print screen of the layout for you using PowerISO.
That 'lightning bolt' icon on the ISO (upper left corner) is the default icon for Daemon Tools Pro which I used to try and open it.
I also attached a print screen of that Virtual Drive I created. You can see the DVD Audio is extracted to it. It's the K: drive that says BD Rom and 2.44 G. The album is on there, but I can't get it to play.
Thanks.

Where did the Zip come from?

(If you don't know what warez is, you should do some research - it's expressly forbidden here. Just because you "don't know what that means" doesn't mean you aren't using them, just like a driver not knowing what a traffic sign in a different state means - it's still your responsibility to follow them!)

First you say you've got a "DVD-Audio" disc. Now you show us a BD (video) disc. They aren't even close to the same. It's no wonder RealPlayer wouldn't work with it...

I really had no idea what 'warez' meant.
I downloaded the ISO online. It's from an album of Steely Dan in the DVD Audio format, that is a dead format now. Car stereo manufacturers don't make systems that play them any more. I figured since it was a dead format, it was acceptable to download. I figured if I downloaded it, and then converted it to mp3, I could burn it to a CD-R and play it in my car. Honestly that's the first time I've ever done that. I buy my own music. I'm not trying to do anything illegal here. I just want to play music from a DVD-Audio disc in my car, but since you can't buy car stereos that a DVD-A capable any more, this was my only option. I don't know why the virtual drive says it was a Blu-Ray disc. The download said it was a DVD Audio disc. I don't know what to tell you. Sorry if I bothered you.

no matter the format it's still stealing copyrighted music.

The virtual drive said it was a BD disc because it WAS. It's not a DVD-Audio disc, regardless of what your web source said.
A true DVD-Audio disc would have a structure similar to a DVD-Video disc, except most if not all assets would reside in the AUDIO_TS folder and have main files be *.AOB type.

The good news is that there are apps to convert a BD's audio to mp3.
The bad news is that what you described of your source does sound like warez, so you should do the right thing and buy the real item.

Thanks for your help and information.
You know a hell of a lot more about this than I do.
I found a site that sells nothing but downloadable HD Audio. I'll probably get it.
It's here:

A great source for all Hi Def audio.
