cueplay

Command line tool for reading BIN/CUE disc images. Lists tracks, plays CD audio, and browses ISO 9660 data tracks.

Building

Requires a C99 compiler and standard system libraries. No external dependencies to install -- miniaudio is included in the repo.

make

Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via mingw).

Usage

List tracks:

$ ./cueplay disc.cue
Track 01 [DATA ] 00:00:00 - 10:47:52
Track 02 [AUDIO] 10:47:52 - 14:02:01
Track 03 [AUDIO] 14:02:01 - 17:02:19

Play an audio track:

$ ./cueplay disc.cue 2
Track 02 [AUDIO] 10:47:52 - 14:02:01  (3:14)
Playing... (Ctrl+C to stop)

List files on a data track (ISO 9660):

$ ./cueplay disc.cue 1

How it works

• Parses CUE sheets directly (FILE, TRACK, INDEX directives)
• Reads raw 2352-byte sectors from the BIN file
• Audio tracks: streams raw PCM (16-bit stereo, 44.1 kHz) to the default output device via miniaudio
• Data tracks: reads the ISO 9660 Primary Volume Descriptor and walks directory records to produce a file listing

Limitations

• Assumes a single BIN file per CUE sheet (multi-file BIN/CUE is not supported)
• Only MODE1/2352 data tracks are handled for ISO 9660 browsing
• No file extraction from data tracks (listing only)
• No Joliet or Rock Ridge extensions
