You use it for burning .bin files.
The .cue file basically points the burning program to the info to burn (.bin)

[Gurm]

The .cue file describes the layout of the .bin file, how many tracks there are, sectors per track, etc.

This is important, because unlike ISO, NRG, or other formats, BIN files contain very little formatting data of their own.

Hello,

For a little more info this section is taken from this sites glossary found on the upper left of the page:

The .BIN / .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, BlindWrite, CloneCD, FireBurner, vcdimager and cdrdao. The .CUE file contains VCD or SVCD or other data track layout information, while the .BIN file holds the actual data. VCDhelp.com bin/cue pages - afterdawn.com
