Usually a .bin file is a cd image. You'll need a program like Nero to burn it onto a cd. If you need to look inside of a cd image file, you can use IsoBuster.

Yeah, but if you have a .bin file, you will also need the .cue to burn it.

I thought that a .bin file was binary.

And Binary files are not CD images.

CD Image is ISO.

But I am probably wrong.

I believe you are correct. .bin=binary file as in a BIOS file.
