3 * Change cdparanoia-tracks to = in the status file
6 * flacdecode (to extract files from a -1 flac file)
8 * Get the echo instances to behave consistently
10 * move the wav files to a different dir if the user wants to keep the tracks
11 * read the TOC and CDTEXT files and store them
13 * read_and_encode_and_tag? :)
14 * Customizable post-read/encode/tag hooks
15 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=114851)
17 * Separate local/dist tagging: if local encoding, the tags are added on the
18 encoding phase. If remote, the tracks need tagging.
19 And also add the possibility to add this information via oggenc directly
20 instead of explicitly invoking vorbiscomment.
22 * Maybe repair files when they have the same name in the original CD?
23 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205634)
25 * Separate the different output encodings, so a user can read and encode one
26 format and then encode another one, later, from the same wavs. Right now,
27 the same status line is used for all formats, so a re-encoding is rejected
28 since abcde sees the encoding already finished. Same with tags and moves.
32 * From slashdot: IMHO the most important aspect of an auto-ripper, is its
33 error-handling: what happens if a CD is too scratched to rip? How should it
34 react if someone tries to rip the exact same CD? make a new rip with another
35 name ? silently overwrite the old rip? etc.
37 Review the things that abcde does ;)
39 * When cdparanoia encounters a problem (disk full, data track) when abcde
40 is run in batch mode, abcde still continues, but batch mode is disabled.
41 I.e. instead of normalizing all tracks together, they are normalized
42 seperately, instead of running "lame --nogap" on all wavs, lame is
45 Abcde should halt when a problem occurs, so it can be manually resolved.
49 * AAC support (faac should be free?)
51 * I used abcde to rip a cd in batch normalizing mode to mp3 (mp2
52 actually) format with toolame. The first part went fine, until toolame
53 started. That resulted in an error. Here is the relevant part of the
54 logfile made by 'abcde -D 2>logfile':
57 + TRACKFILES= track1.wav track2.wav track3.wav track4.wav
58 + nice -n 10 toolame --nogap track1.wav track2.wav track3.wav track4.wav
59 toolame: unrec option -
60 toolame: unrec option n
61 toolame: -p model must be 1 or 2, not track1.wav
64 + echo 'batch-encode: returned code 1'
67 In my abcde.conf I have "BATCH=y". Setting this to "BATCH=n" solves
68 this. "BATCH=y" is responsible for inserting '--nogap'. I don't know
69 what that is supposed to be doing, but it is only meant for use with
70 lame, and I am using toolame as that is free software: "LAME=toolame"
73 I see two possible solutions:
75 1. Check if LAME really is lame and not toolame or some other mp3
76 encoder. If so, then go ahead and insert '--nogap' in the generated
79 2. Don't tie the '--nogap' insertion to the setting of BATCH. Make a
80 new option NOGAP or something for that.
82 Other than that, abcde is a brilliant time saver. Thanks!
