Hello, I am a newb when it comes to working with ISO's.  My question is would it be possible to create a ISO of a game with the audio tracks included in the ISO along with the game itself.  A game I am working on has music tracks which I cannot get to save in the same ISO.  Would this program be able to do that or could you recommend one that would accomplish that?  

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Standard ISO format supports single data track only. Please press F8, choose 'CloneCD(.IMG/.CCD/.SUB)' as output format to image your game CD.

If you by "Audio tracks" means 44.1 KHz, 16-bit stereo wav files without wav header, like the ones on a CD-DA (Audio CD)
you cannot put these inside a standard *.iso image.

The reason are that *.iso images are 2048 bytes / sector,
while Audio CD tracks are 2352 bytes / sector.

The are ways to make a cdimage that is like this.
It's called a "Mixed Mode CD" where
the first track is a 2048 bytes /sector data track,
then the next track(s) are 2352 bytes / sector audio tracks.
All tracks are within the same session.
Older games (e.g. FF VIII) used sometimes used this,
but nowadays' games usually use compressed audio of some sort,
like *.mp3 files, *.ogg files etc.
The advantage is, in addition to the space-saving,
that these files are standard data files that may be included in a single 2048 bytes /sector data track together with all the other files needed for the game.


Just to make it complete, I'll mention "the opposite" of a "Mixed Mode CD"
- and that is a "CD-Extra"
This has all the 2352 bytes / sector audio tracks first, in session 1, then a 2048 bytes /sector data track in session 2.
Hence, a "CD-Extra" belongs to the family of "Multi-Session CDs"
