Hi!

".NRG" and ".IMG" are both disc image files - and should be playable using the "VLC" (VideoLAN) player - or by using DaemonTools to mount in a virtual drive...

APE is a 100% loosless audio-compression. This format is called "Monkey's Audio". These files are much bigger than MP3, OGG, AAC or alike. You can play them in Winamp, but you'll need a plugin. I think the best is, you convert those files to a more common format, which will play on most players. All you need can be found here:

Foobar2000 is a very good Audio-Player. It supports almost any type audio-file existing today. The best is: You don't need any codecs, plugins, filters or alike. The User-Interface is somehow hardheaded. I think you should give this player a try! Take a look here:

I think those ".dts" files are raw DTS audio-files. DTS is a compressed multi-channel audio-format. DTS is used on some Video-DVD, since the quality is better than AC3 aka Dolby-Digital. Think a DVD-Player software should play back those files. Don't think ".dts" files are very common. Maybe they were extracted from a Video-DVD.

VLC Player is able to play those image files, if they contain playable data. For example when the Image represents an Audio-CD or a Video-CD. Of course an Image file can contain any type data. Usually you use a burning software like nero to burn the image-file on CD-R or DVD-R.

".nrg" = Nero Image File
".img" = Raw Data Image (is there another file like ".cue" or ".ccd" ???)

Of course an Image file can contain any type data.

Technically correct, of course, but the question is posted specifically regarding "Audio Encoding" - which is what I addressed...

Year sure. Just wanted to make clear to this guy that not any type of *.nrg neccessarily contains audio. Furthermore I'm not sure if VLC can play that, if the image contains a data disc with - let's say - .aac files or stuff. Never tried this...

And there's another probelm: With that *.img image, we usually need a control file like *.cue or *.ccd or alike...
