You could use a virtual CD drive emulater. A virtual CD emulater is a software program that creates a virtual drive which tricks the computer in to thinking it is a real CD drive. The virtual drive can then "mount" an image file and play it as if it was a real CD. The upshoot is you can play a music CD, saved on your hard drive, without having to burn them on to a CD.

For you to use this method, you will need two software programs. First, you will need a virtual drive emulator. I recommend using Slysoft's Virtual CloneDrive, which is totally free (http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html).

Second, you will need a software program to create a ISO image from your CD contents which were saved to the hard drive. I recommend using Windows ISO Recorder PowerToy, which is also totally free (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/ISO_Recorder/1010212925/1).

Are you familiar with creating and mounting a ISO image? There is a decent article about using ISO images written by Tech-Recipe (http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips696.html)

People frequently get confused regarding these file types. Here's how to use these files.

*.bin
*.cue
*.iso

These file extensions are commonly used to show that a file is an image of a CD or DVD.

The most simple way to access these files is to use your CD or DVD Burner to burn them to a disk. Nero is a common program that is used to burn bin/cue files to hard media.

One really nice thing to do is to treat these files as a virtual CD or DVD without ever burning them. Daemon Tools is one program that is often used to do this. Microsoft now has a free program that does this as well.

The other place that *.bin files are frequently used are in emulation software. Gaming roms are often stored in compressed files full of bin files. If you have a zip file full of *.bin files, try Mame or some similiar emulator.
