216 # For the best LAME encoder options have a look at:
217 # <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_encoder_settings>
218 # A good option is '-V 0' which gives Variable Bitrate Rate (VBR) recording
219 # with a target bitrate of ~245 Kbps and a bitrate range of 220...260 Kbps.
222 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
223 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
225 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
226 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
227 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'
230 # And mp3enc also still works with abcde in 2015 with the last release
231 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
232 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
240 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails
241 # to encode with error 'floating point exception'. This is flac

255 # Look at 'wavpack --help' for detailed options, consider using '-hx3'
256 # for a good quality encode
258 # For Wavpack replay gain we set both the default of 'track gain'

269 # There are now 6 AAC encoders available to abcde, the default being

274 # for a good quality encode.
275 #FDKAACENCOPTS='--bitrate 192k'
276 # 2. FFmpeg: Use the following to use the FFmpeg native encoder, adding
277 # -strict -2 if you have an older FFmpeg:
278 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a aac -b:a 192k"
279 # 3. neroAacEnc: see 'neroAacEnc -help' and
280 # consider using '-q 0.65' for a good quality encode.
282 # 4. faac: see 'faac --long-help' and consider
283 # using '-q 250' for a good quality encode.
285 # 5. qaac: simply run 'wine qaac.exe' to see all options and
286 # consider using '--tvbr 100' for a good quality
287 # encode or '--alac' for Apple Lossless Audio Codec
289 # 6. fhgaacenc: simply run 'wine fhgaacenc.exe' to see all options.
290 # consider using '--vbr 4' for a decent quality encode.
294 # This is a lossless format so no options of any note available:
298 # For the encoder options look at: 'opusenc -h'
302 # Currently uses either twolame or ffmpeg, for twolame options look at:
303 # 'twolame --help',a highly recommended setting is "--bitrate 320".
306 # FFmpeg or avconv can be used for several audio codecs, as well as being
307 # the default encoder for the Matroska container mka::
308 # 1. Encoding to WavPack (FFmpeg only: avconv does not have a native encoder).
309 # Consider setting the following with a compression_level between 0-8:
310 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a wavpack -compression_level 6"
311 # 2. Encoding to ALAC (both FFmpeg and avconv have a native encoder).
312 # Consider using the following for either FFmpeg and avconv:
313 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a alac"
315 # Consider using the following for either FFmpeg and avconv:
316 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a mp2 -b:a 320k"
320 # There are three ways to tag MP3 files:
321 # 1. id3v1 (with id3)
322 # 2. id3v2.3 (with id3v2)
323 # 3. id3v2.4 (with eyeD3) This is the default

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

468 # 2. Replace all spaces with an underscore (second sed command). Simply remove
469 # this if you prefer spaces.
470 # 3. Delete a grab bag of characters which variously Windows and Linux do not permit
471 # (tr command). Remove any of these from the list if you wish to actually use them.
