ISO to WAV

[doced72]

ISO SACD (audio) files to WAV: How to effect this conversion. No software I've investigated can do it. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

You cannot convert ISO per se; ISO is just a CD image which contains individual tracks.

First burn the ISO to a CD, then rip the CD by using appropriate utility to get WAV files. There are many other ways, but this one is fast and easy to do.

mount the iso to a virtual drive using demon tools or similar and then rip the wav files like you would rip a normal cd using freerip or media player etc.

Thank you for offering a solution, but, given I'm not better than "routinely competent," I don't understand the "burn" to CD before it can be converted. I'm an anachronism in my preference for music playing through my hi-fi system via a now antique, but nonetheless excellent, Sony EX CD player, that will only read proper WAV files. For me, the problematic ISO image needs be opened so that the contained files can be delivered to a converter. Perhaps I ought to have provided that detail in my original request for assistance. I have not, though, as stated, found software, (free would be a big plus) that opens the ISO and reveals its contents for, in this case, conversion to usable WAV format.

Thank you for your suggestion, but, alas, I don't know how to do it.

Burning a CD means putting an empty and recordable CD media into your optical drive (which must be CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW capable) and then using a CD/DVD burning software to record the image (ISO file) directly to a CD or DVD media, resulting effectively in a fully functional "copy" of that CD/DVD. A free and easy software for burning is ImgBurn:

Use the first option "write image file to disc", select the image file (your ISO) and then the target device to burn (put the empty recordable media into your optical drive first), and wait.

You then have a fully functional SACD with all tracks which can be listened on a CD player; if you choose so, you can then rip the CD to create WAV files, use a software such as:
