Reading Serato ID3 Tags

I’m wondering if Engine is able to read Serato ID3 tags for hotcues/etc. without importing from Serato?

Some places I get music from (eg. BPMSupreme) have songs pre-hotcued in Serato format. I can see a relatively easy workaround by importing to Serato first, and then importing the tracks from Serato in Engine DJ. I still think it’d be nice to be able to have the option of reading these without importing from Serato since I don’t always know if my files have them.

It reads BPM and Key direct from files.

That’s useful I suppose. But Serato also writes beatgrid info (which is likely discarded on analysis) and hotcues to ID3 tags as well. The main thing I’m interested in is the hotcues.
