in awk or shell we trust

Hi all i made an image of an audio cd dd if=-/dev/disk1 of=/home/
Afterhours
Then i tried to mount it and view the inside files but no way.
So is there a awk command or shell to view what's inside an image?
Thanks in advance

Is that '-' as part of the input file path intentional?

If you create an output file you need not mount the output file, it
should be readable.

Do you want to read/mount the device or the file?

awk is very good at looking for patterns in ASCII.
Do you expect to see ASCII information inside a wave file?

at the beginning of the file yes

Use the strings(1) command to extract text from binaries, or use any
editor (like vim) that won't complain about displaying binary files.

You can print ASCII strings from a binary file with the 'strings'
command.

It might be easier to just type
file xxx.wav

I get something like:

xxx.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 11025 Hz

There are no standard Unix commands for this, but your system might have
commands to rip files from an audio cd. Try "apropos audio".
