.nrg
Hi, can the Brasero audio player run .nrg files or do these need to be converted first ?
The site that offers this music sells the CD and .nrg download files to burn to a blank disc.
Try to "Burn image" in Brasero and see. I doubt it will accept the selection of a disc image with that proprietary format though. Indeed, a quick search on the Web seems to indicate that you will first have to convert it with nrg2iso, which is in Trisquel's repository.
I've downloaded 2.5GB of music contained in .nrg files. Also added nrg2iso from synaptic but don't know how to use this to convert the .nrg files. Brasero, Rythmnbox, VLC, Abrowser etc. don't recognise or play these files.
How can the nrg2iso files be used to convert my files ?
Seems this command line tool is to convert to iso format. How can that be used/changed to play audio ?
According to the nrg2iso project page (https://github.com/basrach/nrg2iso), it's a command line program which you will use to convert the .nrg file to a .iso file like this:
nrg2iso mydisk.nrg mydisk.iso
> How can that be used/changed to play audio ?
Right-click on the newly created iso file and select "Open with..." > "Disk image mounter".
You will then be able to access its contents as if you had inserted a CD in an optical drive.
png addition to last comment;
Unfortunately terminal code is where things get lost in space;
Rename the .nrg file without spaces and try again.
Example:
nrg2iso port-said-1.nrg port-said-1.iso
Or you should be able to just use quote marks:
nrg2iso 'port said 1.nrg' 'port said 1.iso'
'downloaded 2.5GB of music contained in .nrg files'
I think you got the right idea but
'nrg2iso mydisk.nrg mydisk.iso'
was an example where you change 'mydisk' to whatever your need is, whatever your downloaded .nrg is called to whatever you want to call your .iso.
The message 'No such file.' means that in /Music/Port you have no 'mydisk.nrg' file. Assuming that your download is in fact in /Music/Port you can open the terminal there and use the 'ls' command which will list the files in /Music/port. Now do the command 'nrg2iso (enter the file name ls shows here) (maybe just change that from .nrg to .iso here).'
Ok thanks now there are 4 .iso files but brasero burned it as data only (isofs) not audio (mp3).
When the .iso file is right-clicked and open with disk image mounter chosen nothing happens.
How can the iso be burned as mp3 ?
Tried to burn it as an image file but it produced errors and is now another junk CDR ! Who thought it was a good idea to buy music in .nrg format ? Oh whoops :)
When the .iso file is right-clicked and open with disk image mounter chosen nothing happens.
That does not look good. The command line using dd that icarolongo gives in https://trisquel.info/forum/nrg#comment-182722 may better work.
How can the iso be burned as mp3 ?
Classical home audio systems cannot read MP3. Are you sure it is what you want?
Probably it works using GNU dd.
dd bs=1k if=image.nrg of=image.iso skip=300
I found that:
"Worked for me! Just recovered some blistering funk from 2004 thanks to this!"

I failed to convert the .nrg files but fortunately the company that supplies the music sent it all in mp3 when i explained my mistake. VLC is currently playing a collection of six records.
