So I'm working on archiving my audio CD collection and I'm ripping my discs as both lossless audio tracks and also making a disc image. For ripping the audio tracks I'm using EAC and for the disc images I'm using ImgBurn. However, I have a few "Enhanced CDs" that after I make the disc image, WinCDEmu won't mount the bin/cue image and some folks have suggested Daemon Tools Lite but when I download the installer for that, MS Defender goes nuts so not sure if I trust it.
My goal is to have a mountable image of the Enhanced CDs that once mounted, behave exactly like the disc has been inserted. I've done a little research and most people recommend just copying the files/folders from the CD however 2 of my CDs show no files in File Explorer and even if they did, that's not a 1:1 archival copy that I'm going for. Has anyone successfully done this and if so, what software did you use to create the image and what software successfully mounts them? Thanks!
