This is a tangential issue in my investigation of ARTISTSORT mostly not
working.  I'm starting a new thread for it.

One album (for which, as it happens, ARTISTSORT *does* get processed
correctly) is George Benson - Breezin'.  I notice, though, that all the
tracks show up with the title "George Benson - Breezin'"  They play
fine, but no title info.

For this album, album.id=236.  "select title from tracks where
album=236" confirms that the titles are all what Slim says.  (Yeah, how
could this be otherwise, but I like to be certain.)

When I go back to the scan log, I see the cuesheet being processed and
each track being processed with a message "Info: no title found,
calculating title from url..."  This apparently is generated at line
191 of Slim::Formats.pm.

However, further down in the log I see a set of messages from a
function newTrack() that allege track records are being created and
list, correctly!!!, the names of the tracks.

One head scratcher is that these messages list the track ids being
created, but these are not the track ids that end up in the database. 
For instance, track 1 has a listing "Created track 'Breezin'' (id:
[3505])"  When I select track 3505 it is track 2, Nice Guys, from Art
Ensemble of Chicago.  The tracks on Breezin' end up being assigned ids
3523-3528.  The log listing for Nice Guys says it is being assigned id
3487.

So what is going on here?  As I wrote previously, I'm not a Perl guy. 
I'm just someone with 20+ years of programming experience in so many
different environments that debugging has become second nature to me. 
I guess I'm going to have to install Perl and figure out the debugging
environment at some point--I can feel the vortex sucking me in already
:-) --but I would be just as happy if someone who knows what they're
doing could spot what is happening here.

I am attaching the cuesheet and the snipped out log entries.  (Renaming
the cuesheet with a .txt extension.  Seems pointless to zip it.)  I
could FTP the flac file (230-odd MB) somewhere if that helps, but this
looks to me to be a cuesheet processing problem.  (There is no
duplicate cuesheet information in the flac.  metaflac
--export-tags-to=- returns:
