17 # The CDDB protocol level.
18 # Right now 5 is latin1 output and 6 is UTF8 encoding.

35 # If NOSUBMIT is set to y, then abcde will never prompt asking if you

46 # This is useful if you do a lot of editing to those CDDB entries.
47 # Also, other tools like Grip store CDDB entries under $HOME/.cddb,

92 # abcde supports 2 CUE modes: 'mkcue' and 'abcde.mkcue' so you can set the

102 # Keep the wav files after encoding. Set it to "y" and remove "clean" from

111 # Define if you want abcde to be non-interactive.
112 # Keep in mind that there is no way to deactivate it right now in the command

192 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
193 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
195 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
196 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
197 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'
200 # And mp3enc also still works with abcde in 2015 with the last release
201 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
202 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
210 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails

212 # error in get_console_width(), corrected in flac 1.3.1
218 # MPP/MP+ (Musepack):
219 # For the encoder options look at 'mpcenc --longhelp', consider

224 # Look at 'wavpack --help' for detailed options, consider using '-hx3'
225 # for a good quality encode
227 # For Wavpack replay gain we set both the default of 'track gain'
228 # as well as this option for 'album gain'. Better media players
229 # such as vlc can select either or neither.

380 # * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
381 # * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores

387 # echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr \ / __ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
390 # Custom genre munging:
391 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
392 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
396 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
400 # Custom pre-read function
401 # By default it does nothing.
402 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
403 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
