cue file extension (archive_name.cue)
CUE is not a "real" file its contents are only the CD/DVD image description of a BIN file which holds the actual information, the actual image or copy of the CD.
Most software automatically recognizes the Binary File information just using the .BIN file but in case your application does not you will need both files, the .CUE and the .BIN to open it.
Among many other Nero and Daemon tools are the best ones to open this files, if you want to record it to a CD then use Nero if you just want to check it/ install and play use Daemon Tools.
One final Note, when you Install Daemon tools DO NOT CHECK THE OPTION TO INSTALL THE TOOLBAR ITS A VERY BAD APPLICATION!
Daemon Tools
Daemon tools is one of the best Virtual Drive software you can get for FREE. It supports most CD/DVD image formats as ISO, BIN, CUE, DAA, MDS and NRG.
