In other words, it is a problem in your shell syntax.  I suggest 
creating a file like this:

#! /bin/sed -nf

    #   input lines of the form:
    #   <artist> ' - ' <title> '(' <version> ').ogg' <bpm> <cruft>    N

    y/\n/ /
    s/^/\"/
    s/ - /\",\"/
    s/[ ]*(/\",\"/
    s/).ogg /\",/
    s/temp.wav//
    N
