    Default Hey all, Not sure what to do with ISO and what it is exactly

    Hey all, I'm a N00b at this stuff and not really sure what i'm doing. I'm just wondering, what do i do with the ISO, or now i've converted it to TAO, what can i do with it, and how.

    Also is there a way to get the music from a TAO or ISO?

    I'd be grateful for some help please. thanx

    An ISO is a disc image. To view the contents of it you can use WinRAR or Daemon tools.

    Yep. WinRaR can read and extract from standard .iso format as well
    as it can exchange files in .iso if they exactly match the size and name.

    ISO is the standard name for all kinds of CD/DVD images and it's used
    for burning CD's/DVD's for all known programs, though not all programs
    can handle some of the Image types.

    TAO files can be converted to some other standard formats by using
    ISOBuster I think. If you plan on doing this the best way is to convert it
    to .bin .cue format.

    If ISO contain music samples on it in one of the known music format you can
    acces it by either burn ISO into CD/DVD or mount it into virtual drive via, for
    example, Daemon Tools.

    Simply told ISO in whatever format it is contain data which were on CD/DVD
    it was created from...

    Seriously you should use search function on these forums cause all that questions
    have been answered tons of times.
