I have an ISO of an audio CD that was created by someone using OS X. I would like to use this ISO in Ubuntu -- ultimately in order to extract the tracks to sound files.

When I attempt to mount the ISO, I get the following message:

>sudo mount -o loop ~/CD.iso /home/user/cdmount
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

How should I do this?

Audio CDs do not have file systems for tracks. It is raw data burned to the disc.

What you have isn't an ISO but raw data of the disc. You cannot mount it.

I am able to play an audio CD rip (from Nero, many many years ago) with this:

mplayer -demuxer rawaudio my_audio_cd_rip.nrg

or

mpv -demuxer=rawaudio my_audio_cd_rip.nrg

or (after changing the file extension)

play -r 44100 -e signed -b 16 -c 2 -L my_audio_cd_rip.cdda

and to convert it to an MP3:

sox -r 44100 -e signed -b 16 -c 2 -L my_audio_cd_rip.cdda -C 320 my_audio_cd_rip.mp3

You can also mount a NRG file (after changing the file extension to .iso) with CDEmu or other similar utilities.

If the NRG file it's an audio CD, once mounted, you can use an extraction program like Sound Juicer to extract the tracks.
