How to .nrg to .iso?

I have an nrg file that I simply want to convert to a .iso but this is having me rip my hair out trying to find a way to do this.

It's an audio cd, not a movie one. I have Toast 8 and though it mounts it (and reads it as one track), the only way to get those tracks separated is to burn the image into a CD-R then import the audio.

I tried:
-Renaming the file to .iso.
-Mounting it on Disk Utility.
-Using Windows Bootcamp and a Nero 7 copy a friend gave to me. Thing is tough to navigate, doesn't look like there's a way to convert.
-MagicISO but this just doesn't exist. I have the trial version, if that's the reason why.
-PowerISO created an .iso that refuses to mount on anything.

[edit] Just learned that you can't make an iso from an audio cd. I guess doing it the long and somewhat expensive way is the way to go.

I didn't put that down with what I tried because I know that doesn't work with audio cds.

I'm pretty sure you can't convert an audio CD to ISO. It doesn't use an ISO filesystem, it's just redbook audio.

Audio CD's are usually binary imaged (.bin, sometimes with a .cue, which is a text file denoting the track breaks and such).
 
First thing I did. I tried that nrg4iso but I have no idea how to use that other than it opens terminal and I can't type anything else in it.

I didn't look but I'm guessing it's a command-line program so you need to run it manually with some arguments to tell it everything.

It's best, at this point, to just extract the audio from it but doing that has it as "Track 1, Track 2, etc..." rather than the tagged info.

What tagged info? Other than CDTEXT that image shouldn't have any tags for the tracks.

When I burn it onto a cd-r, it has the names and other info right there.

[edit]Going to attempt to just mount the thing using MagicISO in bootcamp and use EAC to rip the mount.
