Errr, if it's an ISO image, why not just mount it and copy them to the
hard drive?

Yeah, that won't work.  Audio CDs are not ISO images.  They're usually
in a format called CDDA or something like that (I think there's also
CDDB and a couple of others).

cdparanoia isn't looking for a file system, it's looking a cdda
formatted disk.  Running cdparanoia on an ISO image won't work.

So, now I'm confused, is this an ISO image, or an audio CD?
