[FEATURE] Handling Cue Files in M3U Playlists #638

@cupboardboard

Description

@cupboardboard

Currently, if MPD has a m3u playlist that contains albums as cue files, ncmpcpp will ignore the cue file when adding the playlist from the playlist editor to the current main playlist queue. Selecting the cue file from the playlist editor and trying to add it as an item gives the error "MPD no such song" and trying to edit it gives the error "Could not read [filename.cue]"

MPD has cue file support implemented and going to the cue file through directory browser, ncmpcpp, sees the cue file as a playlist and can add them to the main playlist queue just fine. It would be nice if cue files are processed from the playlists editor as well, where adding the playlist from the playlist editor or selecting the cue file adds all the songs properly.

As a note, currently, rmpc, another MPD client supports selecting the cue file and adding it from the playlist pane, but when adding the playlist without manual selection, it ignores the cue files like ncmpcpp.
