CUE and BIN is a method of representing the contents of a CD or DVD (especially an audio CD) by using a "cue sheet" file in plain text listing the tracks, accompanying a raw binary (BIN) file with the actual data, sometimes in a disk-image format that captures the raw data of the disk, but sometimes in an audio format such as MP3.
