The cue file represents the CD-ROM TOC
(https://www.herongyang.com/CD-DVD/CD-TOC-Where-Is-Located.html) which
is what you need to locate tracks on the CD. Without it a CD player
wouldn't know how to seek separate audio tracks. The cue file also
lets you do thing like split tracks into different files with
different formats.

give it a standard TOC that denotes one big data track, if that's even
necessary.
