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

265 # There are now 5 AAC encoders available to abcde. (FFmpeg
266 # is also available for the m4a container...)
267 # Note that the old AACENCOPTS has been rendered obsolete by
268 # the following options, new to abcde 2.7:
269 # 1. faac: see 'faac --long-help' and consider
270 # using '-q 250' for a good quality encode.
272 # 2. neroAacEnc: see 'neroAacEnc -help' and
273 # consider using '-q 0.65' for a good quality encode.
275 # 3. fdkaac: see 'fdkaac --help' and consider using
276 # '--profile 2 --bitrate-mode 5 --afterburner 1'
277 # for a good quality encode.
278 #FDKAACENCOPTS='--bitrate 192k'
279 # 4. qaac: simply run 'wine qaac.exe' to see all options and
280 # consider using '--tvbr 100' for a good quality
281 # encode or '--alac' for Apple Lossless Audio Codec.
283 # 5. fhgaacenc: simply run 'wine fhgaacenc.exe' to see all options.
284 # consider using '--vbr 4' for a decent quality encode.
288 # This is a lossless format so no options of any note available:
292 # For the encoder options look at: 'opusenc -h'
296 # Currently uses either twolame or ffmpeg, for twolame options look at:
297 # 'twolame --help',a highly recommended setting is "--bitrate 320".
300 # FFmpeg or avconv can be used for several audio codecs, as well as being
301 # the default encoder for the Matroska container mka::
302 # 1. Encoding to WavPack (FFmpeg only: avconv does not have a native encoder).
303 # Consider setting the following with a compression_level between 0-8:
304 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a wavpack -compression_level 6"
305 # 2. Encoding to ALAC (both FFmpeg and avconv have a native encoder).
306 # Consider using the following for either FFmpeg and avconv:

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

403 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
404 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
407 # Support for systems with low disk space:
408 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
409 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
412 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
413 # volume differences between tracks of an album.
416 # Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
419 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
420 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
421 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
423 #PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'

429 #VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'

454 # Custom filename munging:
455 # By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful filename:
456 # 1. Delete any dots preceding the title (first sed command)
457 # 2. Replace all spaces with an underscore (second sed command). Simply remove
458 # this if you prefer spaces.
459 # 3. Delete a grab bag of characters which variously Windows and Linux do not permit
460 # (tr command). Remove any of these from the list if you wish to actually use them.

467 # Custom filename munging specific to track names:
468 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.
474 # Custom filename munging specific to artist names:
475 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.
481 # Custom filename munging specific to album names:
482 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.
488 # Custom genre munging:
489 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
490 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
494 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
498 # Custom pre-read function

500 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
501 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
