Successfully used Batch Ripper with Virtual CD images and no "physical" loader?

[Land of Shadows]

I have been using dBpoweramp for a very long time in a "manual" fashion. But I have a large number of discs that I have acquired from thrift stores over the last year or two. And want to process them faster. I HAVE created virtual CD files from them already, created with CloneCD that have the files .ccd, .img, .cur and .sub.

Using ChatGPT and a couple other AI's I've been trying to build a process to rip them automatically now that I have them in digital image format.

I have been varying things like using batch files, converting them to EXE files visible or not visible, using "user" or "admin" context, run with or without "Administrator".
I have used "Virtual Clone Drive" by default and DAEMON TOOLS PRO for loading the images.

I have seen that when I run a batch file it can load an image and SEE the files on it, but when converted to an EXE it seems to load it but NOT see the files.

Really wondering if anyone has:
1) ACTUALLY accomplished this for vCD Batch Ripping and if so
2) Have any "recipes" for how to script mass sequential rips from a repository of audio CD virtual disc files.

They already are ripped, but not securely (only a secure ripper working from the actual disc can re-rip to recover bad sectors). You would just need to extract the audio from those images.

My process for many years has been.
1. Image all discs of a batch to give me a “backup”
2. Use that image and dBpoweramp CD Ripper to get the the metadata and “rip” it to .flac format
3. Use AccurateRip to determine which discs are “accurate” and any that are not use the Physical discs and dBpowermp to do a more thorough rip with additional error correction hopefully to achieve an accurate album rip as the result

imaged discs are “digitized” but I didn’t think they were considered “ripped” as I still have to use CD Ripper to accomplish that part. And doing so manually on a disc by disc basis dBPoweramp:CD ripper has been fantastic.

Regardless of terminology, can you provide insight on using the dBpoweramp suite of products to achieve a “mass processing” to get them into FLAC format, with metadata/tags and created into folders to represent each album? Your help, would be greatly appreciated. Batch Ripper seemed to be the best approach but I don’t know how or if it’s possible. But I am open to using other tools.

I do not think you will be able to automate the loading and unloading of the disc images easily.

Anyhow you can replace the load.exe and unload.exe with any programs you want to run, see:
