A DMG to my knowledge is not proprietary, but there isn't much reason to make one on Linux. There is also little reason to make one for this situation either, as it is typically not used to create a binary image of a CD. For that you are much better going with the .bin or .iso files to be honest. IIRC a .iso file can be burned by Diskutility on Mac OS X with no problem. Most burning programs on OS X can handle TOC/CUE files, though I don't believe Disc Utility can burn them, and I know from experience some, like older versions of Toast(Not sure about newer) don't burn them correctly, so I suppose this might be why your friend suggested a DMG. However to be hoenst a DMG would not be a good match for this, as it is designed to store files to my knowledge, and thus wouldn't be to strong a match for an audio CD.

thanks, pete! your conclusions pretty much correspond to mine, so it's good to have them confirmed, at least. yes, i thought "iso" really only referred to a specific, non-audio, filesystem, but was hunting for some single file image for audio cd's, much like the actual iso's for other disks. a friend of mine, who uses macs, says there's a dmg file which is a complete single-file image of a cd, used in protools. perhaps that is proprietary.

cheers!
