Bug #608
Cuesheet support issue: 'Album Title' missing (replaced with current directory name), as well as Year and Genre in playlist when adding songs from cue files
100%
Description
Fedora 22 / audacious 3.6.2
Audacious has had support for cuesheets for a while: it can add and play songs from a cuesheet into a playlist, and can now scan cuesheets while building the library.
Cuesheet parsing has a problem though: cuesheet files support both the Name of the Album as well as the Name of each Song. When adding songs from a cuesheet to a playlist (or scanning cuesheets into the library) Audacious ignores the name of the album that's present in the cuesheet and silently replaces it with the name of the directory where the album is.
Spec: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Cue_sheet
This issue has been present for at least 2 years since I found it reported by someone here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/+bug/1274200
In addition to Album title, Audacious also ignores the "REM DATE" (year) and "REM GENRE" tags. These are tags extracted by EAC, Rubyripper and all other CD rippers out there.
Example:
REM GENRE Classical
REM DATE 1996
REM DISCID 8D12A50A
CATALOG 0028944693621
PERFORMER "Schubert; Alfred Brendel"
TITLE "Complete Piano Works (Brendel) CD1 - Klaviersonaten a-moll, A-Dur, a-moll, 16 Deutsche Taenze"
FILE "Image.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Sonata in A minor, D. 537 - 1. Allegro, ma non troppo"
PERFORMER "Schubert; Alfred Brendel"

Fixed, but note that libcue needs a patch to support the REM GENRE lines (plain GENRE works, though):

Thanks for the fast response! Does this include the missing Album Title name fix as well? (looking at the diffs I could see Genre/Date fixes but not the album name one - am I overlooking something)

Coincidentally, I had already fixed the album title (and album artist as well), actually just the day before you reported this bug.
