Disc Mounting software that supports ISO/MP3

[Pixel_Crusher]

I'd like to mount some Tg-16 and Neo Geo CD isos with mp3 tracks, sadly however, programs such as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools don't accept/support mp3 in iso mounting, so I was wondering if anyone around here knew of a good program like these that can allow iso+mp3 mounting.

I hate converting mp3 to wavs, uses too much espace on the HDD and I'm sick of wasting money on CD-R's to burn isos.

Thanks in advance btw.

Unfortunately you're going to have to deal with the WAV conversions: MP3's are unreliable and don't always sync up properly due to them creating pre- and post-gaps in the audio, and unavoidable compression artifact. No CD mounting software supports it, because frankly, it's not worth it.

I really do hate to tell you this, but if you're concerned about size, buy yourself a big hard drive to store all that stuff on.

I see, but aren't there any alternative audio formats that are more reliable and that can be used?

Unless you get the files in BIN format (unlikely), you'll have to settle with ISO+WAV.
You are getting the games for free, so converting them to WAV should be no big deal, unless you are trying to collect them or something.

i got a couple possible options for ya.

1) just make it temporarily converted when you want to play. remember to unmount the image if you're gonna ditch the wav files.

2) make the wav files, ditch the mp3s, compress everything, and burn that(.zip, .rar, whatever you use) to a data disc, rather than making a specific game disc for each game. this way you might possibly back 4 or more games up rather than making a disc per game. works better if you can use dvds, naturally.

Thanks for the advices guys, but perhaps it's best I use the ISO/WAV combination for as much as I dislike it's size (at least sound will be accurate and syncronized).

Oh well, I guess I should start searching for a good external HD.
