Sorry about that. I thought that being a freeware program all would be OK. Is it OK if I provide a link to another website carrying the program instead?

If it really/truly doesn't have any viruses, and was freeware, it's fine to link.

OK, then. Updated the TurboRip link in the first message.

There is also CDRTools for Linux and Windows, but has no GUI.

I've written a small bash script that extracts the data track to iso, the audio tracks to wav, converts the wav files to ogg files and generates the cue file. It should work on any linux distro with bchunk and vorbis-tools packages installed.

Very nice. Can it be converted to Windows?

Yes. Well, this is not optimal, it would be advisable to do something similar in powershell (or a GUI) but it can be done and it works. I have made some small changes to the script to work in windows with win-bash.

Download and extract.
Copy the BIN and CUE files to the same folder where isoogg_win.7z has been extracted
Double click on start_shell.bat
Should open a window with a bash shell
Now type:
./isoogg.sh file.bin file.cue
or
./isoogg.sh "file with spaces.bin" "with spaces.cue"

Wait ~ 1 minute and if the bin file has audio tracks we will have in the same folder file.iso, file.cue and *.ogg

I've tested it on Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

Alternatively you can copy only isoogg.sh from download above and get the rest of the files from the original sources. You'll need these files:

https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/vorb … ls-win32-bin.7z
*.dll
oggenc.exe

https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/release … 2.1_repub.1.zip
bchunk.exe

https://sourceforge.net/projects/win-bash/fil … latest/download
*.dll
bash.exe
echo.exe
grep.exe
ls.exe
mv.exe
rm.exe
sed.exe
start_shell.bat

A few years back I started writing a tool that was a frontend for CDRTools that could could rip/compress CDA tracks and make ISOs of CDs, and generate/edit CUE sheets for DOSBox. It was also a simple frontend for DOSBox. I gave it up since there was not much interest in it.

Well, you should continue it in some form or another. It has the potential to be pretty useful!

I've tested it on Windows 10 x64, with whatever was the current version in August 2020 and it works.

I'll rehost your file on my website later, if that's OK with you, so people don't have to go to ad-infested download sites.

Sure, do whatever you want with the code.

I'm glad it's useful to you. 😀

Do you want to check out mine 😉 ?
BIN/CUE to ISO/CUE converter v1.09, supports : FLAC,MP3,OGG,OPUS (script)

Well done! 😁

Since you have asked, I would say

Consider implementing things when you actually need them.
Keep it simple. 😉

Unfortunately I keep running into them, and that complicates things.
Thanks for the support 😁
