Is there any way to play rar files in BSPlayer?
I have heard that mplayer in Linux can do it.

Yeap. Unrar (p.e.: using Winrar) and afterwords, play the extracted media file with BSplayer. There is NO other way. :)

Oh, so I have to use WinRaR?! :-P Hehe.
Well, play them directly would have been very nice :-)

I don't think that this is a nice suggestion. BSplayer isn't an archive program! :P

Anyway, if you want to know more, check this out.

Hm... I searched, but didn't find that thread. Weird.
Oh, well... thanks anyway :)
Still think that playing bin or rar directly would be VERY nice :-P

Linux probably has to at least extract it first somehow.

Anyway, you can play a .BIN file directly - you mount it with something like Daemon Tools.
