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

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

190 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
191 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
193 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
194 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
195 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'
198 # And mp3enc also still works with abcde in 2015 with the last release
199 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
200 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
208 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails
209 # to encode with error 'floating point exception'. This is flac
210 # error in get_console_width(), corrected in flac 1.3.1
216 # MPP/MP+ (Musepack):
217 # For the encoder options look at 'mpcenc --longhelp', consider

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

312 # OUTPUTTYPE can be any of a number of formats, either a single format

318 # Output filename format - change this to reflect your inner desire to

320 # You have the following variables at your disposal:
321 # OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, TRACKNUM and YEAR.
322 # Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
323 # the directory portion of this filename.
324 # NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.

337 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
338 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
341 # Support for systems with low disk space:
342 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
343 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
346 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
347 # volume differences between tracks of an album.
350 # Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
353 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
354 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
355 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
357 #PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
358 # If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
359 # string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option

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

371 # By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful
373 # * Translate colons to a space and a dash for Windows compatibility
374 # * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
375 # * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores
376 # To change that, redefine the mungefilename function.
377 # mungefilename receives the CDDB data (artist, track, title, whatever)
378 # as $1 and outputs it on stdout.
381 # echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr \ / __ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
384 # Custom genre munging:
385 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
386 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
390 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
394 # Custom pre-read function
395 # By default it does nothing.
396 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
397 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
399 # * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also
400 # set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
401 # KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
402 # you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
403 # Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.
409 # Custom post-read function
