if cue sheet has title like this:
TITLE "What It Feels Like For A Girl (Above and Beyond 12" Club Mix)"

foobar cannot load it sad.gif

however it works like if it is like this:
TITLE "What It Feels Like For A Girl (Above and Beyond 12 Club Mix)"

It's not a bug. You cannot use double quotes in your metadata, since the cuesheet parser will see everything after the double quote as being illegal syntax. The solution that many people use to workaround this issue, is to instead use two single quotes, like this: ''.

Okay.. cue was bad then.. odd.

Remember that " is used as a control character in CUE sheets you simply can't use it for your text. That's a fact.

Use other quotation characters instead of " like

„ Alt-0132
“ Alt-0147
” Alt-0148 (in this special case: Above and Beyond 12” Club Mix)
‘ Alt-0145
’ Alt-0146

You have to type the numbers on the Numpad!
But you can also use the less fancy ASCII characters:

Apostrophe: ' (2x -> ''. as Martin H already suggested, that's actually two characters but they look like one, the ASCII quotation mark)
Grave Accent: `
Acute Accent: ´ (ok actually not ASCII, but latin-1/win-1252)
