Make “iso” file in ubuntu
This may seem very obvious but I know some people just totally overlooked this and download what-not burning thingy on an impulse. Actually, Ubuntu has this functionality right out of the box. I’m going to use Ubuntu’s built-in Brasero Disc Burning so you won’t have to install anything.
1. Mount(insert) your CD/DVD.
2. Go to Applications -> Sound & Video -> Brasero Disc Burning
3. On the Brasero window, Select Disk copy
Brasero window
4. When CD/DVD copy options will appear, choose File image on the “Select a drive to write to” combobox.
selecting iso
5. Click Copy.
*6. Wiki up Ghost in the Shell and your done!
* Step 6 is optional but highly recommended. :D

How do you view the contents of the .raw or .cue file? Or can you only burn it again and waste a CD? I’m looking for a way to create a single file from an audio disc and be able to extract a single song (or all of them) as much as I want. Right now, I have to extract just the songs from each disc (no multimedia content), save them as .flac file, and then archive them.

I think what your trying to do is “ripping” songs, am I right?. Ubuntu has Sound Juicer. Its their default ripping utility. Here’s the link that might help you:

Btw, what OS do you use? In windows, there are tons of softwares to do this, like winamp or windows media player.
Hope this helps. :)

Well, right now I’m having to use Sound-Juicer to rip tracks individually, but what I want to be able to do is rip the entire CD as one file (like a .iso file). With a single .iso file, I’ll be able to extract individual songs from it and encode them in the current highest-quality codec (right now, its FLAC, but that won’t necessarily always be the case).

I think there’s no way you could directly extract individual songs from an iso into a music format like mp3. Remember that iso file is an image, its an exact copy from the CD. I guess you just have to mish-mash software tools to get what you want.

cat /dev/scd0 > /home/Username/test.iso
(dev/scd0 is your hardware address of the cd drive. May be different on your system, check system monitor.)
This works great for making an .iso file of a cd or dvd. (Not sure how it goes with copyrighted stuff…)
@ stikifliem: If you want to view or modify an existing .iso, ie extract a single song from an .iso file try isomaster. It’s in the repos. :) It also allows you to add files to an existing .iso which is extremely handy for keeping a music collection current with those songs you like/dislike.
