I guess I'm unclear on just what you want to do with it.

If you output a file in ISO format (with the .cdr file in the
filesystem), and move this to a PC which has a burner, and then burn
this to a CD-R, what you'll end up with is an ISO-format CD-R. This
will *not* be playable on a standard audio CD player!

If you want to be able to play this in a standard (Red Book) audio CD
player, you *must* burn the data to CD-R using the burning software's
audio-CD mode, and must *not* try to go through ISO9660 format!

I'd be stunned if Nero was unable to burn an audio CD-R using a .cdr
file as input. You just need to find the right options in the program.

I think it's an HFS image, not an audio stream... if I rename the file to
*.nrg, then choose burn, I get the "import foreign image" dialog in Nero. I
can choose Audio as image type, but then I get an error message which says
"the entered block size (2352) does not match image length."

When I choose "HFS" as the image type I get no such error message.

When I use the "file" command I get:

% file disc.cdr
disc.cdr: Apple Partition data block size: 0 first type: ple_partition_map,
number of blocks: 4145520,

That sounds as if you've hit it - it's probably a Macintosh disk-image
dump, complete with the Macintosh-style partition table. There would
be an HFS filesystem in one of the partitions.

Sounds as if you'd want to do a raw 2048-byte-block burn (similar to
burning an ISO9660 image, but with a different internal format) and
then put the resulting CD-R into a Mac CD-ROM drive to get at the
contents.

It would probably not be useful on a PC running Windows.

You could probably mount it on a Linux system whose kernel has been
compiled with support for HFS and for the Macintosh partition table
format.
