    Certain programs allow you to use certain parts of it I believe. Nero and Alcohol use the .cue, but I think there is one that uses the .bin

    Ok, this is confusing. The files are in individual .rar files inside of a .tar file...Do I just burn the whole thing? The .tar?

    I find your lack of faith disturbing. *chokes*

    Anyway, as for the thread starter, I can't help you. I've heard of the file type and all, but I don't know how to open a .bin. Wish I could help.

    Ok here goes.

    If you have a .cue and .bin file that you want to BURN - use nero.

    If you want to mount it, and 'trick' your computer into thinking it's a cd inserted into a cd drive, use alcohol 120%. The trial is fine. It works just like the registered version, you just have to wait like 10 seconds on boot. Then make a virtual drive and right click on it and goto mount image. Select the file.

    .tar is like a zip file. Extract all the rar files. Then right click on the FIRST rar file and goto 'extract here' or 'extract to ~foldername~'

    If that's too vague for you, let me know and Ill make up a tutorial tonight.
