couldn't really understand much of this.

First check if any updated library has support for CUE sheets. I think
there was some other music player's code that you were pirating to
implement the feature. See how it does this.

You probably want to change FileTypeResolver and check whether the file is
a CueSheet. If taglib provides the feature, use it (and bump up the
dependency version), otherwise skip taglib and use a custom class.
If you do use a custom class, do not try to code it yourself, as this would
be non trivial. Try and find code and copy it.
