I use http://hackage.haskell.org/package/csv and never had troubles
with it. `parseCSV` returns a list of lists ([[String]]) which is
easy enough to manipulate for whatever you need.

Thanks for the pointers, Stephen. I will look into it. I don't know if I'll
have time to learn how to do this though. I'll keep it in mind for the
future.
This is a small, ongoing, no-pressure project, which is even lower pressure
when you consider I'm using what I call "just in time" debugging and
design. When I look at my use cases, I don't implement any that seem
unlikely. If they ever do occur, I can deal with them then. But I don't
just ignore cases willy-nilly -- I always consider if they do occur, that
the resulting bug will be obvious right away and lead me directly to the
answer.
This is interesting when dealing with music playback. Some unexpected cases
won't give an error message but will affect the playback sound -- so I
always ask myself, "Will this bug be obvious, really screw up the sound in
a major way, so I know it's happening?" Because what I don't want are bugs
that create small effects that I might miss for a while so I miss the
critical moment they were introduced.
I don't know the definition of the different processes but does "Just In
Time" design/debugging have something to do with Agile?

I'd recommend taking a look at cassava
<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cassava>.
