What is a CUE file
CUE files belong to the category of disk image files. They are saved as plain text files using ASCII. On compact discs and super-Audio CDs, these files help with organizing the different tracks on the disc. The contents of the file differ, but they mostly contain the name of the song, the artist and the length of the individual tracks.
Most CD playback and editing programs, as well as disc burning programs, can recognize CUE files. This is thanks to the way they are written, using a standard format. It is possible, that a CUE file occur in combination with a BIN file on your computer. The CDRWIN program is able to encode CUE files in two different formats. You can choose from 2048 and 2324 bps.
