While a useful hack, I'm not so thrilled about using the vorbis CUESHEET tag to store metadata long-term, especially since updating/modifying the data seems like a non-trivial process. (at least, I haven't seen anything other than metaflac or foobar2000 that'll do it, and manipulating a multiline tag is annoying at best) Overall it just seems better to separate the audiodata from the metadata entirely.
Right now I'm just trying to see if someone's got an existing schema that gets me 90% of the way there so I can get things up and running reasonably quickly. If I can do that, then I can see if I can make slimserver deal with the archive setup. That gets me a fairly robust music archive/jukebox like thing.
For what it's worth, slimserver will read a musicbrainz xml description of the flac file out of an app block. The thing that isn't available yet is a tool to insert the xml into the flac. But I'm sure it would be easy to make it read an external version of that xml as well. And the tools to pull the data from musicbrainz would lend themselves well to inclusion in an automated system like what you describe.

Err, could you expand on that a bit? Do you mean the xml description of the cd represented by the flac file? I've been futzing with the internal guts of libmusicbrainz all day, and I have code now that generates the proper musicbrainz DiscID given an flac-generated (NOT EAC) cuesheet text file. Now I'm working on turning that into code that just extracts the cuesheet data from the image itself and bypasses the whole textfile step.
So with respect to fetching things from musicbrainz, I'm at http://musicbrainz.org/cdindex/69WPuFcKSoXA4Trt1kY4tGSg6Vo- here with my test disc/image. How does that relate to what you're talking about? Are you talking about the information at: http://mm.musicbrainz.org/mm-2.1/album/94348021-7c03-4a58-bfcb-ee865f449200 ?
If so that means all that's left is some way of transforming a DiscID into a GUID. Scanning musicbrainz' wiki, it looks like MBQ_GetCDInfoFromCDIndexId will get me a list of album GUIDs that are linked to that DiscId, which gets me the RDF url above.
