103 # Keep the wav files after encoding. Set it to "y" and remove "clean" from
104 # the list of default actions, since we purge the temp directory as default.
107 # Track padding: force abcde to pad tracks using 0, so every song uses a two
108 # digit entry. If set to "y", even a single song encoding outputs a file like
112 # Define if you want abcde to be non-interactive.
113 # Keep in mind that there is no way to deactivate it right now in the command

205 # For the best LAME encoder options have a look at:
206 # <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_encoder_settings>
207 # A good option is '-V 0' which gives Variable Bitrate Rate (VBR) recording
208 # with a target bitrate of ~245 Kbps and a bitrate range of 220...260 Kbps.
212 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
213 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
215 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
216 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
217 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'
220 # And mp3enc also still works with abcde in 2015 with the last release
221 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
222 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
230 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails
231 # to encode with error 'floating point exception'. This is flac
232 # error in get_console_width(), corrected in flac 1.3.1
238 # MPP/MP+ (Musepack):
239 # For the encoder options look at 'mpcenc --longhelp', consider
240 # setting '--extreme' for a good quality encode.
244 # Look at 'wavpack --help' for detailed options, consider using '-hx3'
245 # for a good quality encode
247 # For Wavpack replay gain we set both the default of 'track gain'
248 # as well as this option for 'album gain'. Better media players
249 # such as vlc can select either or neither.

265 # 2. neroAacEnc: see 'neroAacEnc -help' and
266 # consider using '-q 0.65' for a good quality encode.
268 # 3. fdkaac: see 'fdkaac --help' and consider using

270 # for a good quality encode.
271 #FDKAACENCOPTS='--bitrate 192k'
272 # 4. qaac: simply run 'wine qaac.exe' to see all options and

274 # encode or '--alac' for Apple Lossless Audio Codec.
276 # 5. fhgaacenc: simply run 'wine fhgaacenc.exe' to see all options.
277 # consider using '--vbr 4' for a decent quality encode.
283 # For the encoder options look at: 'opusenc -h'
287 # There are three ways to tag MP3 files:
288 # 1. id3v1 (with id3)
289 # 2. id3v2.3 (with id3v2)

335 # CD device you want to read from
336 # It can be defined as a singletrack flac file, but since it might change from
337 # file to file it makes little sense to define it here.
339 # If we are using the IDE bus, we need CDPARANOIACDROMBUS defined as "d"
340 # If we are using the ide-scsi emulation layer, we need to define a "g"
341 #CDPARANOIACDROMBUS="d"
343 # If you'd like to make a default location that overrides the current

357 # Output filename format - change this to reflect your inner desire to
358 # organize things differently than everyone else :)
359 # You have the following variables at your disposal:
360 # OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, TRACKNUM and YEAR.
361 # Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
362 # the directory portion of this filename.
363 # NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
364 # Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type
365 # to the files. Remove it from your user defined string if you are getting
366 # files like ".ogg.ogg".
367 #OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'

374 #VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$VAOUTPUTFORMAT
376 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
377 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
380 # Support for systems with low disk space:
381 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
382 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
385 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
386 # volume differences between tracks of an album.
389 # Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
392 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
393 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
394 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
396 #PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
397 # If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
398 # string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option

402 #VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
403 #VAPLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''
405 #This will give the playlist CR-LF line-endings, if set to "y".

409 # album art download options (see glyrc's help for details with more detailed
410 # examples here: https://github.com/sahib/glyr/wiki/Commandline-arguments).

425 #ALBUMARTALWAYSCONVERT="n"
427 # Custom filename munging:
428 # By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful filename:
429 # 1. Delete any dots preceding the title (first sed command)
430 # 2. Replace all spaces with an underscore (second sed command). Simply remove
431 # this if you prefer spaces.
432 # 3. Delete a grab bag of characters which variously Windows and Linux do not permit
433 # (tr command). Remove any of these from the list if you wish to actually use them.
437 # echo "$@" | sed -e 's/^\.*//' -e 's/ /_/g' | tr -d ":><|*/\"'?[:cntrl:]"
440 # Custom genre munging:
441 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
442 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
446 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
450 # Custom pre-read function
451 # By default it does nothing.
452 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
453 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
455 # * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also
456 # set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
457 # KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
458 # you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
459 # Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.
465 # Custom post-read function
466 # By default it does nothing.
467 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
468 # * Store a copy of the CD TOC.
