There are many suggestions on the internet on how to use cue/bin files on a Mac.

Is there a native way of mounting cue or bin files and seeing them as Volumes in Finder?

Alternatively, are there any tools—in the vain of Daemon Tools on a Windows machine—that provide this functionality?

I would very much like avoid converting the files I have.

Stuffit Expander (Select StuffIt Expander Only if you want to download it from that site, dont get any adware crap) can open bin files, and from what I remember cue files are just information maps about bin files.

I forget if you can view them as Volumes, but that seems like a secondary concern, converting them is a lengthy process if you have more than a few files.

Actually, I've just found out by trying that Unarchiver can do the same (i.e. extract). Hopefully someone will be able to find out how to mount them. – Sklivvz♦ Apr 25 '11 at 15:37

Have you tried Control+Click (right click) on the .bin file and open with Disk Utility?

I have, Disk Utility pops out but doesn't see it. – Sklivvz♦ Apr 25 '11 at 15:32

I've just used Unarchiver and its extracted all the files in the .bin and i've been able to get the .wmv files that way.
