you need an accompnaying .cue file

you can open it using any CD emulation software or burn it to a cd using nero etc

daemon tools is good

rudey

open nero

select burn image

it will auto ask you for a .NRG file from the dropdown u want to select .CUE

the CUE and BIN must be in the same folder

jsut point nero to the .CUE and it will make the cd

Daemon tools is the same just point it to the .CUE and it will create a virtual cd rom drive under my computer with the cd u just downloaded

you DONT need the cue file. A bin file is 99% a cd/dvd image file. It can be opened using dameon tools which is an virtual cd program. Nero can also burb bins to cd no problem - just set the packet size to 2352 and job done.
