Although it might sound like it, this is not the Trash. Bin is another hidden folder.

Create ISO File. Create ISO file or BIN CUE file from hard disc files. Create ISO file or BIN CUE file from CD / DVD / BD disc. Create bootable ISO image file. Detect various CD / DVD / BD image files automatically. Support ISO9660, Joliet and UDF file system. Support unicode file name. Optimize file layout to save disc space. Jul 27, 2016 Simply run the exe and select the folder or.bin that you want to create a.cue file for. Dec 06, 2006 Unfortunately, the Mac OS X Disk Utility does not support either BIN or CUE files. So we'll have to turn to third-party software. The very popular Toast can handle these files, but it is expensive. We found a free software utility called Burn. Burn can handle BIN and CUE files with ease, and this freeware program is small and fast.

When operating systems, such as macOS — and Mac OS X before that — are constructed using a Linux system directory, certain files and folders are hidden on purpose. Almost every operating system will hide things that the majority of users don't need. It is the same as an architect and builder placing plumbing and wiring behind a wall: it looks better, and the last thing you want is to accidentally damage the operating system that keeps your house functioning smoothly.

It is enough for most people to know that the plumbing and wiring are working smoothly and that they can call a professional should something go wrong. With an Apple operating system, hidden folders and files are routes that power users take to tweak and modify a Mac, to improve how it performs, and solve any problems should anything go wrong.

Accessing the bin folder is another way to take a look at potentially make changes to license and configuration files. Now, if you ever want to make changes to hidden files and folders without digging around in system directories, there is an easier and quicker way. Download an app like CleanMyMac X to uncover space within hard drives. Using its Space Lens feature, This program can show you what is taking up space and help you delete anything you don't need.

However, if you are keen to look under the hood manually, here is how to access the bin folder.

Ways to access the bin folder?

Method 1: Find the bin folder through the Finder

1. Open Finder
2. Press Command+Shift+G to open the dialogue box
3. Input the following search: /usr/local/bin
4. Now you should have temporary access, so you should be able to drag it into the Finder favorites if you want to access it again.

Another way to find the bin folder is through Terminal.

Method 2: Finding the bin in Terminal

1. Launch Terminal; which you can find in /Applications/Utilities
2. Enter this command in Terminal: chflags nohidden ~/usr/local/bin
3. Click Return. Make sure the command is executed.
4. Quit Terminal. The bin folder should be visible in the Finder.
5. If you ever want to restore this to how it was before, enter the following command in Terminal: chflags hidden ~/usr/local/bin
6. Click Return again, and it should be back to how it was.

Only attempt this method if you are comfortable using the Terminal. Remember, using Terminal can make significant changes to your macOS systems and files, so only make these sorts of changes if you’re confident in the inputting instructions. This way, you should have temporary access to the bin folder to make any needed changes.

Pro Tip: If you find yourself running short of storage on your Mac, clear out your downloads folder. Everything you’ve ever downloaded that you’ve not moved somewhere else or copied is sitting in that folder. Going right back to when you got your Mac. Imagine how much room that is taking up! Especially when it contains zip folders, videos, images, and app downloads.

Another way to access hidden directories

There are many apps that allow you to gain access to hidden files, folders, and directories. One such is Daisy Disk, another CleanMyMac X. I prefer CleanMyMac better because of nice visualizations. You can click the 'Space Lens' tool and see the entire folder tree of your Mac. This reveals many hidden folders and things you may have long forgotten.
I downloaded the free version of CleanMyMac X here.
After you get the app, you need to click the 'Space Lens' tab.

From there, click on bubbles to dive deeper into folders that are sorted by colors and categories. Quite exciting, really.

That's all you need to know about finding the Bin folder on Mac. Stay tuned for more Mac tips!

CUETools

CUETools is a tool for lossless audio/CUE sheet format conversion. The goal is to make sure the album image is preserved accurately. A lossless disc image must be lossless not only in preserving contents of the audio tracks, but also in preserving gaps and CUE sheet contents. Many applications lose vital information upon conversion, and don't support all possible CUE sheet styles. For example, foobar2000 loses disc pre-gap information when converting an album image, and doesn't support gaps appended (noncompliant) CUE sheets.

Download

Download links for CUETools binaries, source code and prerequisites can be found on the CUETools Download page.

The distribution comes with CUERipper, an easy-to-use tool for ripping CDs to audio files plus cue sheets, with optional native or EAC-style logging. Like CUETools, it checks the rip against the AccurateRip and CUETools databases. It also contributes to the CUETools database.

Supported formats

Supports WAV, FLAC, APE, lossyWAV, ALAC, TTA, and WavPack audio input/output.Audio must be 16-bit, 44.1kHz samples stereo (i.e. CDPCM).Supports every CUE sheet style (embedded, single file, gaps appended/prepended/left out).It is also possible to process a set of audio files in a directory without a CUE sheet, or use a RAR archive as aninput without unpacking it.

Use cases

• Convert a single-file album image with CUE sheet to a file-per-track album image
• Convert a single-file album image with CUE-sheet-per-album to a single-file album image with CUE-sheet-per-track album image (feature request)
• Convert a file-per-track album image with CUE sheet to a single file album image
• Convert a file-per-track album image without a CUE sheet to a single file album image with simple CUE sheet
• Convert an album image from one lossless codec to another, preserving CUE sheet structure
• Verify a (possibly non offset-corrected) album image against AccurateRip database
• Apply offset correction to a rip made without offset correction
• Prepare an album image for burning with software, which does not handle drive write offsets, by applying offset
• Extract an album image directly from a RAR archive without unpacking it, and save it in a different format
• Fix filenames in a CUE sheet, if the files were renamed or converted to a different format.
• Compress to lossyWav, creating a lossy output + correction file.
• Convert a HDCD image to 24-bit / 20-bit / lossyWav 16-bit audio files (irreversible).
• Convert an album image with minor audio errors to one without errors, using correction files in the CUETools Database.

AccurateRip support

Since version 1.9.2, CUETools can verify album images using the AccurateRip database. ARCue and TripleFLAC were an inspiration. The unique feature of CUETools AccurateRip verification is offset detection. A rip that was made without offset correction can still be verified against the database; the offset can be found and corrected.

Sample log:

More information about the log can be found in the CUETools log documentation.

Why AccurateRip database lookups sometimes fail

How To Create Cue File For Bin On Mac Os

Sometimes, CUETools can't find your ripped CD in the AccurateRip database, even though an entry for it does exist. Usually this is because the rip contains incomplete information about the layout of the original CD. CDs are identified in AccurateRip by the length of all tracks in the disc's entire program area. Therefore, the rip must contain not just all audio tracks, but also:

• Info in a .cue sheet and/or .log file about the presence and duration of any data tracks.
• Info in a .cue sheet and/or .log file about the presence and duration of any Hidden Track One Audio (HTOA, a.k.a. track 01's 'pregap' or 'index 00' portion)—or just the actual HTOA in an audio file.

How To Create Cue File For Bin On Mac Os

So make sure you have the rip's original .cue sheet and .log (EAC or CUERipper format) available. Keeping the original .cue ensures that you don't lose the track 01 pregap length. If you rip to separate tracks without a .cue sheet, and without saving HTOA to a separate file, then this information is lost. If the CD had HTOA and/or a data track, you won't find it in the database without a .cue sheet (or if using a foobar2000-generated or dummy .cue sheet). Sometimes you will find a wrong set, e.g. when the disc was released in two versions, one with a data track and one without—if you rip the version with the data track, and verify it without a .cue sheet, then your files look like the version without a data track. Similarly, if you rip a CD which has HTOA, but don't save the HTOA to a file, and then you try verify it without a .cue sheet, your files look like they were ripped from a CD-R copy of your HTOA-less rip.

CUETools can learn of a data track's existence on the original CD by info in the .cue sheet or .log file. The .cue sheet probably won't have the needed length info because the data track is the last track and probably isn't in the rip (audio CD rippers generally don't rip data tracks at all). However, if you have an EAC log made by a recent version of EAC, CUETools can get the data track length from it. For this to work, the .log file should have the same name as the .cue file, but ending in .log instead of .cue, of course. Or, if you don't have a .log file, but your .cue sheet contains the disc's original freedb DISCID (like all .cue sheets made by recent EAC versions), CUETools can determine a possible range for the data track length. You can try to enter 75 different values in that range manually to find an exact length.

Users report they have been able to use it under linux, using

• Mono, but in this scenario only WAV audio is supported, as other codecs are not yet ported to C#.
• Wine, using Winetricks or PlayOnLinux to install the .NET Framework and Visual C++ 2008 runtime files in a wineprefix.

Known issues

• On discs with multiple entries, Repair function needs to display a window asking confirmation and presenting you with a choice of available repair targets. This window is currently only visible when Input: is set to Folder browser mode with a single file (or file grouping) selected. Batch modes (Multiselect Browser mode, Drag'n'drop mode or selecting an entire folder in Folder Browser mode) are not supported.
• In Multiselect Browser mode, Local DB won't expand using mouse after F5 refresh. Temporary solution: Select then use right arrow key → on keyboard to expand.
• Wide (2-byte) characters may be parsed as two single-byte characters (from the default Windows code page) in UTF-8 encoded CUE sheets. Converting the CUE sheet to UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark) will help CUETools identify the encoding.
