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

122 # This is a relative 'nice'ness (that is, if the parent process is at a

211 # For the best LAME encoder options have a look at:
212 # <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_encoder_settings>
213 # A good option is '-V 0' which gives Variable Bitrate Rate (VBR) recording
214 # with a target bitrate of ~245 Kbps and a bitrate range of 220...260 Kbps.
217 # Bladeenc still works with abcde in 2015, and the last release of bladeenc
218 # was in 2001! Settings that will produce a great encode are: '-br 192'
220 # L3enc still works with abcde in 2015, pretty amazing when you realise
221 # that the last release of l3enc was in 1997! Settings that will produce
222 # a great encode are: '-br 256000 -hq -crc'
225 # And mp3enc also still works with abcde in 2015 with the last release
226 # of mp3enc in 1998! Settings that will produce a great encode, albeit
227 # a slow one, are: '-v -br 256000 -qual 9 -no-is -bw 16500'
235 # The flac option is a workaround for an error where flac fails
236 # to encode with error 'floating point exception'. This is flac
237 # error in get_console_width(), corrected in flac 1.3.1
243 # MPP/MP+ (Musepack):
244 # For the encoder options look at 'mpcenc --longhelp', consider
245 # setting '--extreme' for a good quality encode.
249 # Look at 'wavpack --help' for detailed options, consider using '-hx3'
250 # for a good quality encode
252 # For Wavpack replay gain we set both the default of 'track gain'
253 # as well as this option for 'album gain'. Better media players
254 # such as vlc can select either or neither.
257 # Monkey's Audio (ape)
258 # Without this set mac chokes unfortunately. Choices
259 # are from 1000 to 5000.
263 # There are now 5 AAC encoders available to abcde. (FFmpeg
264 # is also available for the m4a container...)
265 # Note that the old AACENCOPTS has been rendered obsolete by
266 # the following options, new to abcde 2.7:
267 # 1. faac: see 'faac --long-help' and consider
268 # using '-q 250' for a good quality encode.
270 # 2. neroAacEnc: see 'neroAacEnc -help' and
271 # consider using '-q 0.65' for a good quality encode.
273 # 3. fdkaac: see 'fdkaac --help' and consider using
274 # '--profile 2 --bitrate-mode 5 --afterburner 1'
275 # for a good quality encode.
276 #FDKAACENCOPTS='--bitrate 192k'
277 # 4. qaac: simply run 'wine qaac.exe' to see all options and
278 # consider using '--tvbr 100' for a good quality
279 # encode or '--alac' for Apple Lossless Audio Codec.
281 # 5. fhgaacenc: simply run 'wine fhgaacenc.exe' to see all options.
282 # consider using '--vbr 4' for a decent quality encode.
286 # This is a lossless format so no options of any note available:
290 # For the encoder options look at: 'opusenc -h'
294 # Currently uses either twolame or ffmpeg, for twolame options look at:
295 # 'twolame --help',a highly recommended setting is "--bitrate 320".
298 # FFmpeg or avconv can be used for several audio codecs:
299 # 1. Encoding to WavPack (FFmpeg only: avconv does not have a native encoder).
300 # Consider setting the following with a compression_level between 0-8:
301 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a wavpack -compression_level 6"
302 # 2. Encoding to ALAC (both FFmpeg and avconv have a native encoder).
303 # Consider using the following for either FFmpeg and avconv:
304 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a alac"
306 # Consider using the following for either FFmpeg and avconv:
307 # FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a mp2 -b:a 320k"
311 # There are three ways to tag MP3 files:
312 # 1. id3v1 (with id3)
313 # 2. id3v2.3 (with id3v2)
314 # 3. id3v2.4 (with eyeD3) This is the default
315 # Use ID3TAGV to select one of the older formats:
319 #EYED3OPTS="--set-encoding=utf16-LE"
322 # The variable CDPARANOIOPTS is also used by GNU's cd-paranoia,

359 # CD device you want to read from
360 # It can be defined as a singletrack flac file, but since it might change from

363 # If we are using the IDE bus, we need CDPARANOIACDROMBUS defined as "d"

375 # OUTPUTTYPE can be any of a number of formats, either a single format
376 # (e.g. "ogg") or a combination of them separated with ","
377 # (e.g. "flac,mp3"). Currently recognised and supported are:

381 # Output filename format - change this to reflect your inner desire to
382 # organize things differently than everyone else :)
383 # You have the following variables at your disposal:
384 # OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, TRACKNUM and YEAR.
385 # Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
386 # the directory portion of this filename.
387 # NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
388 # Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type
389 # to the files. Remove it from your user defined string if you are getting
390 # files like ".ogg.ogg".
391 #OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
393 # Like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs.
394 #VAOUTPUTFORMAT='Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'

397 #ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$OUTPUTFORMAT
398 #VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$VAOUTPUTFORMAT
400 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
401 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
404 # Support for systems with low disk space:
405 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
406 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
409 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
410 # volume differences between tracks of an album.
413 # Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
416 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
417 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
418 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
420 #PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
421 # If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
422 # string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option
423 #PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''
425 #Like PLAYLIST{FORMAT,DATAPREFIX} but for Various Artists discs:
426 #VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
427 #VAPLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''
429 #This will give the playlist CR-LF line-endings, if set to "y".

433 # album art download options (see glyrc's help for details with more detailed
434 # examples here: https://github.com/sahib/glyr/wiki/Commandline-arguments).

441 # Options for ImageMagick commands used by album art processing when available
442 # For example: CONVERTOPTS="-colorspace RGB -resize 600x600>"
443 # to make the image RGB and fit inside 600x600 while keeping the aspect ratio
446 #DISPLAYCMDOPTS="-resize 512x512 -title abcde_album_art"
447 # By default convert is only called when the image type is different from
448 # ALBUMARTTYPE, use ALBUMARTALWAYSCONVERT="y" to always call convert
449 #ALBUMARTALWAYSCONVERT="n"
451 # Custom filename munging:
452 # By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful filename:
453 # 1. Delete any dots preceding the title (first sed command)
454 # 2. Replace all spaces with an underscore (second sed command). Simply remove
455 # this if you prefer spaces.
456 # 3. Delete a grab bag of characters which variously Windows and Linux do not permit
457 # (tr command). Remove any of these from the list if you wish to actually use them.
461 # echo "$@" | sed -e 's/^\.*//' -e 's/ /_/g' | tr -d ":><|*/\"'?[:cntrl:]"
464 # Custom genre munging:
465 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
466 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
470 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
474 # Custom pre-read function
475 # By default it does nothing.
476 # You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
477 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
479 # * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also
480 # set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
481 # KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
482 # you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
483 # Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.
489 # Custom post-read function
490 # By default it does nothing.
