ISO/CUE music tracks problem

I've been trying to get Blade of Destiny/Schicksalsklinge working as an ISO image and MP3 files running for a while now. The original CD works fine - the music tracks play off the CD perfectly well. When I make a BIN/CUE file of the CD, this works fine too.

What I'm trying to do, however, is create a CUE/ISO archive of the game, which is considerably lighter on my hard drive. My CUE file is fine and Nero interprets it correctly, but mounting the CUE file, DOSBox simply doesn't want to recognise my MP3 files. I've tried this with 0.73 and 0.74.

Any ideas?

Not sure what you're saying here. So... you converted the audio tracks in a BIN/CUE set to MP3 files, and you expect the game to know what to do with them?

DOSBox uses the SDL_sound library to support compressed audio tracks with cue sheets, but MP3 does not work for some reason. OGG encoded audio tracks work, and you still use the "MP3" identifier on the tracks in the cue sheet.

Actually I created both the ISO+MP3s and BIN/CUE sets directly from the CD, but that's six of one and half of dozen and the other.

I reripped the audio tracks as OGGs and modified the CUE file, and it worked beautifully! Thanks!
