File extension cue is mainly related to cue sheet description file also known as Description File for a CD-Image (.bin file) originally used by CDRWIN CD/DVD recording application.

For an audio CD, the cue sheet can specify titles and performers for the disc and its tracks as well as the names of one or more audio files to be used. 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 one file.

Some multimedia players such as KMPlayer, VUPlayer are able to use CUE file as playlist file and playback audio tracks listed in it.
