I only recently switched to Linux / POP!_OS so I'm still getting used to the file types, but what are .cue files generally used for? I don't think I've downloaded .cue files before.
.cue is kinda like a playlist, but for single files, like full albums or disk images.
Oh right! Thanks!
Metadata for lossless music is the main use I’ve seen. It’s not that uncommon to download a lossless album and to just get one huge FLAC file and one cue file to distinguish which parts are which songs.
Disk images are the most common stuff I've seen them used with. In those cases it's .bin and .cue files
Ah I see! Thanks for the explanation!
