Hi, I'm new here. And new to using Tascam. I just did my first recording in my X8 and transferred the files to my macbook. But during transfer I noticed that every WAV file is accompanied by an identically named .bin file. But I can't figure out what they are needed for?

All I understood from Google search is that they are binary files but what are they used for? Do I need to keep them or is it safe to delete them?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. 🙏
