Well you could have asked Phil Taylor for extensions to BarFly to cover what

Same here. It would be nice to have a bit of software that could process a
whole collection that way but since a computer can't tell what's between the
quotes you might end up throwing away useful information.

No problem for you then, but other people are sharing tunes with with this
sort of thing in them.

There seem to be some developers who disagree with that.
