Just reimage your CD with a program that will generate the CUE.

Sure, but I use OS X and don't really want to pony up the cash for Toast (it's $100). I don't know of any Mac programs that generate BIN/CUE files other than that off the top of my head.

Also, I'd prefer not to have to use 650 MB of space when I can rip the audio to OGG or MP3 or something and use that. Based on my search of previous threads, it sounds like the typical suggestion is to use ScummVM in these cases, but I really prefer DOSBox + Boxer.

Compressed music tracks will only work with ScummVM. With DOSBox, you can mount a BIN/CUE image, which is "full size" (all data on the CD plus audio tracks). Isn't it possible to run Linux utils on MacOS? I'm sure there are free command line tools capable of creating BIN/CUE images.

You should use ScummVM for the game though.

Hmm, I was basing that on this link:

http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Cuesheet#Compressed_audio_tracks

Well, I worked out the cue sheet on my own, having converted the audio to WAV:

FILE "LOOM.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 1 MODE1/2048
INDEX 1 00:00:00
FILE "LOOM.WAV" WAVE
TRACK 2 AUDIO
INDEX 1 04:25:25

Thanks for the replies. Based on the link I posted above I assumed that DOSBox handled compressed audio; guess not. At least I don't have to use ScummVM, though. 😀

dosbox handles compressed audio as far as I know. Never used it though.

DOSBox works with OGG compressed audio files, but not MP3; there is some issue with the SDL_SOUND library. See this thread.

Couldn't get an OGG encoding to work (tried both "OGG" and "MP3" as the type, MP3 based on the example on the Cuesheet page linked above), but maybe the OS X binary isn't compiled to support compressed audio.

Whatever, it works. 😀
