How to Create Cue File to Mount or Read Bin File

By:

Bin file is a binary image of a CD or DVD just as an ISO file. Normally, a Bin file accompanied with a Cue file to open, edit or extract Bin data directly on computer with the help of any tool such as Daemon, Mame or Microsoft WinXP Virtual CD Control Panel.

Some time, when you download files from different internet resources or torrents those are available in Bin format. In some situation Bin file doesn’t work alone without Cue file. So if you lost the Cue file or deleted accidentally here we write the method to create a Cue file for a Bin file.

Create a Cue File for Bin File

Step 1

Create a new text file and copy/past the following text in that file

FILE “abc.bin” BINARYTRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00

where abc.bin = YourBinFileName.bin

Step 2

Save the text file with the same name as your Bin file and set its extension .cue

All done now you can use bin file with the help of cue. If you still have any question, leave comments below.

  Open notepad paste the given code in it and save the text file as binfilename.cue
  Don’t rename the file extension after saving as text, you may have hidden the file extension.
