yeah ive done it that way as well as the automated route, both with exactly the same results. I have also used the monkeysaudio method to decompress the .ape files, leaving me with a ton of .wav files to go with my un emc'd .bin file. The cue sheet ive downloaded as advised by zorlon hasnt helped either as damon tools nor any other program ive used (magic disc, alcohol etc...) is able to mount the iso from said cue file.

Im worried im starting to sound a bit thick now.... lol
