In the context of VLC, .bin / .cue files have to do with binary copies of a CDROM (or data suitable for writing to a CDROM); in particular, VLC can play at least VCD and SVCD.

Because they are a file system format in themselves, it is probably not worth trying to implement a program that can read the files: instead you should use your operating system to mount the .bin as a file system and then read the files out of the file system.
