I have successfully convinced my server to scan a bunch of .cue files
that point to .flac files with the audio. The cue files are generated
from another source, so I have full control of their contents.

But what I haven't succeeded with is to get the metadata right. I added
PERFORMER tags in the cue file both for the album and for the tracks,
but squeezecenter tells me that I have tracks like

Track: I Saw Her Standing There
Album:  Please Please Me
Artist: No artist, The Beatles

(actually "Ingen artist", since it talks Swedish to me)

So, where does the "no artist" part come from? I haven't found any kind
of description of how cue files are scanned.

One guess that I haven't tested yet is that it comes from the fact that
my flac files have no metadata (vorbis) tags. But why should it? It
can't have individual metadata for the tracks anyway.

And I don't want to have to retag the flac files if I fix the metadata,
since they are really read-only archived copies of my CDs. And retagging
flac files can be expensive (I know it can be avoided).
