CD Cue SheetsThe CD Cue Sheet file is a metadata file which describes how the tracks of a CD or DVD are laid out. Cue sheets arestored as plain text files and commonly have a .cue filename extension.

MP3, WAV and BIN files are often used, although some programs support other formats.Cue sheets are especially useful when burning or listening to live sets where all tracks are recorded in onefile.Cue sheets are also used for many types of CDs in conjunction with an image file. The image file generally has a".bin" extension.
