First of all. Do you know what it is a cue file?
You can open it also as a text file with notepad for example.
There you see the content.
It is about title of wav file which you must keep near this cue file. It is about tags, titles of splitted tracks and so on..
If you have an error that means you don't know how to use it.
Try for now to search 2 things:
1. if you have the source wav near cue (if it is flac will never be visible for any burner, becouse on cue it's stay clear, wav)
2. title of wav must be same as the source from cue
You can change them as a simple text, of course only you have to put info matching your wav source with that cue.

Open that cue file with notepad for example.
See if you have the title for wav same as yours.
Keep your wav source near cue, in same folder or subfolder.
Use EAC it is much usefull for audio.
And change info to match what you have with what you want to burn, in the cue file.
I hope also that you decoded flac into wav, either poor NERO will never find the source file which must be burned as cue said.

Would have helped a little if you'd have said what errors you were getting.

The main problem with cue files is that the uploader sometimes uses a different file format (usually wav rather than the flac or ape file included in the archive)... so my first check would be to open the cue file using notebook and look to see if the line eg

FILE "album selection in rar.flac" WAVE

matches the file you were supplied with.

Wav source must be near cue file in same folder (to be found by burner), and also title from line 3 from cue must be same as wav source title. No rar, no flac or something else than wav.
Cue file for a sinlge wav track it is the proofe that cd was ripped and not matched with splitted tracks or whatever rippers does.
Also cue is usefull especially for shows were pauses are very short (by original cd can be around 0,2s) or as they must be, 0.
I never understand why cue it is so scary and also single wav track. They has to be so for a real copy. Splits can be done fast with EAC and of course if exists a cue file.

No they're not. Apart from once or twice having to correct the filename in a download I've not had any problems whatsoever. EVERY CD recreated from a cue file has gone nice and smooth.

There are many software that will allow you to split cue uploaded releases into separate files.....just google for them.
