Bear in mind that BIN/CUE is the standard way to represent optical discs with audio tracks (when you don't need to capture subchannel data, physical data track wobble, or other low-level encoding details that copy protection schemes check), as used by tons of emulators including DOSBox.

It's not a highly visible format in modern systems, but it's hardly obscure.

(eg. GOG.com re-releases of DOS games with CD audio which don't use ScummVM will use an ISO file for the data track, typically renamed .gog to avoid "I mounted this and I got no music" tech support calls, a bunch of Ogg Vorbis files, and a version of DOSBox with the patch to support Ogg Vorbis audio tracks in .cue files. I imagine Steam re-releases would do something similar).
