The Cue files are mostly just useful if ever you want to replace a
physical CD (dog chewed it, whatever). They're also used in situations
where the CD you are ripping only has "sort of" tracks (I'm thinking
classical music in particular, but I guess some rock music, too). Then
playing the music file gets you exactly the way the bits were on the
CD, and playing the Cue (assuming your player has support) gets you
track-by-track.

I have EAC set to produce cue files, but for the first reason - I can
replace a CD if I need to (although they're all currently in boxes in
the basement so likely this is just my thinking not having caught up to
"the state of the world") AND I have SqueezeCenter set to ignore cue
files. Works for me, YMMV and all that...
