Many apps, including Windows, won't recognize a CUE / BIN image to mount it. Here's where the BIN to ISO conversion comes in handy. The thing is that specific free apps to convert BIN to ISO can't seem to get it right. CDburnerXP will take a CD-sized Bin file and convert it to a DVD-sized ISO image, which is also corrupted, to boot. Convert image file to BIN / CUE file. A.CUE file is a plain text file which contains information about tracks in a compact disc. The corresponding bin file stores the actual data for all tracks in the disc. An ISO file can only contain one data track, however bin / cue file can contain multiple tracks, and can contain data, audio, or video.
Introduction.
You have an album of your favorite band in a single MP3 file and want to get separate tracks without recompressing the whole thing? Well, it's pretty easy. You just need an MP3 cutter, a special program that can split MP3 files in a number of ways, so that you can choose the easiest way to accomplish the task. We will discuss how to cut an MP3 album using CUE sheet with Visual MP3 Splitter & Joiner, as this program has all necessary functions.
Preparations.
Download Visual MP3 Splitter & Joiner to a known location. After download is complete, launch setup and follow instructions on screen.
Step 1: Open CUE file.

CUE sheet is a small text file that contains information about tracks. Usually it has the same name as MP3 file, but the extension is .cue instead of .mp3.
Start Visual MP3 Splitter & Joiner. Click 'Add file' button.
Quite usual 'Open' dialog appears. Browse to the location where both MP3 and CUE files are.
Select the corresponding CUE file and click 'Open'. Information about tracks will appear in the split list of the CUE splitter.
Step 2: Split.

Now, select a folder on your computer where the resulting MP3 files should be saved and click 'Split' button. By default output files are saved in the same folder where original file is.
Wait until the program finishes its task (a green progress bar appears in the lower right corner), then just close it and find split MP3 files in the output folder. The program doesn't actually cut MP3 file into pieces, it simply copies its segments to create new files. So don't worry if you want to keep the original file.
Trial version of Visual MP3 Splitter & Joiner allows you to split a file into 5 parts only. However, there's a way to fool this restriction. For a ten tracks album, you can simply split your big MP3 file into two parts at the beginning (for example, visually), then open each part separately and detect tracks with help of silence detection.
