Parsing the sheets isn't the problem, I have already done a fair bit in
that regard. It's reading tags which is tricky, without taglib. If you
people think I should go ahead without it then fine.
For example, I need the length of the track in order to set the end time of
the final track. Now since I can't read any sort of metadata information
from the cue sheet I'll have to read the tags from the associated mp3 or
flac file. I don't think this is a good workaround.

It was there in the 1.x series apparently. But hasn't the architecture
changed since then?

That would be great.
