214 # For the best LAME encoder options have a look at:
215 # <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_encoder_settings>
216 # A good option is '-V 0' which gives Variable Bitrate Rate (VBR) recording
217 # with a target bitrate of ~245 Kbps and a bitrate range of 220...260 Kbps.
220 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
221 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
223 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
224 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
225 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'

229 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
230 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
238 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails

256 # For Wavpack replay gain we set both the default of 'track gain'

278 # 3. faac: see 'faac --long-help' and consider
279 # using '-q 250' for a good quality encode.
281 # 4. qaac: simply run 'wine qaac.exe' to see all options and
282 # consider using '--tvbr 100' for a good quality
283 # encode or '--alac' for Apple Lossless Audio Codec
285 # 5. fhgaacenc: simply run 'wine fhgaacenc.exe' to see all options.
286 # consider using '--vbr 4' for a decent quality encode.
290 # This is a lossless format so no options of any note available:
294 # For the encoder options look at: 'opusenc -h'
298 # Currently uses either twolame or ffmpeg, for twolame options look at:
299 # 'twolame --help',a highly recommended setting is "--bitrate 320".
302 # FFmpeg or avconv can be used for several audio codecs, as well as being
303 # the default encoder for the Matroska container mka::
304 # 1. Encoding to WavPack (FFmpeg only: avconv does not have a native encoder).
305 # Consider setting the following with a compression_level between 0-8:
306 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a wavpack -compression_level 6"
307 # 2. Encoding to ALAC (both FFmpeg and avconv have a native encoder).

405 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
406 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
409 # Support for systems with low disk space:
410 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
411 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
414 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
415 # volume differences between tracks of an album.
418 # Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
421 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
422 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
423 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that

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

469 # Custom filename munging specific to track names:
470 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.

477 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.
483 # Custom filename munging specific to album names:
484 # By default this function will call the mungefilename function.
490 # Custom genre munging:
491 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
