Thanks to Johannes Gernemann for this patch which closes issue 9: http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9 * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2. * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2) with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2. * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7. * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder. * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac. * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using either qaac or refalac.

This closes Issue 33. * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia and can best be called from a conf file as follows: CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose" with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this will need to be rectified... * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes. * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140. * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139. * Added some error checking and documentation for the abcde-musicbrainz-tool.

This fix closes Issue 46. * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still works flawlessly with a modern abcde! * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997! * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs. This allows for commandline options such as the following: abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320' Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch! This closes Issue 136. * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding. * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain application 'mpcgain'. * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added.

In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following actions will need a "-f" to force the last one: abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac abcde -a tag,move,clean During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC files, which we encoded previously. * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050) -- Jesus Climent Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200 abcde 2.3.99 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4"). * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the parsed CDDB output. * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out. * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data. * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded cuesheet as a source of tracks. * Added -z for easy and quick debug. * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension. * Added replygain using the appropriate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC. * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individually in the chain of events. * debian/{rules,control}: - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accommodate to compat mode 4. - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed. * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables. * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support. * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support is not added to abcde). * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder. -- Jesus Climent Sat, 8 Oct 2005 17:05:32 +0300 abcde 2.3.4 * Some patches from Tom Spindler - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be null. - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff. * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487). -- Jesus Climent Sat, 3 Sep 2005 16:50:07 +0300 abcde 2.3.3 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various.

When failing to read a disc, actually report that there might be no disc in the drive. * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216) * Added CUE support. Still experimental... * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added as a post-process action. * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen ) * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD. * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463) * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only numbers solved (Closes: #313628). * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566). * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list. (Closes: #305749). * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768). * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555) * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the actual default option. -- Jesus Climent Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300 abcde 2.2.6 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904). Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088). -- Jesus Climent Sun, 3 Apr 2005 18:18:03 +0000 abcde 2.2.5 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes. * Removed some useless lines. * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH. * Small typos with CDROM comparisons. * Logic for CDROM variable improved. * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge. -- Jesus Climent Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300 abcde 2.2.4 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times: --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from. * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options. * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD. * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code. * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names. Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482) * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it (Closes: #297005) * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs. -- Jesus Climent Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200 abcde 2.2.3 * debian/control - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674). * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835). * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name (Closes: #290709). -- Jesus Climent Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200 abcde 2.2.2 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018). -- Jesus Climent Fri, 3 Dec 2004 09:20:18 +0200 abcde 2.2.1 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected (Closes: #282647). -- Jesus Climent Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200 abcde 2.2.0 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge. * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See corecodec.org for code. * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out. * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the directories. * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan Jones. - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does not, please, drop a note. Or else. * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\". * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not work (at least there is no support for them in abcde) (Closes: #112692, #117412). * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683). * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep. * Bug fixes along the code: - abcde.1 corrections and additions - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools. - abcde.conf additions * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used. * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon. * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge. * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358). * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user interaction. * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053) * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool. * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones for noticing and sending the patch. * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD. * Option "-t " added to modify the numbering from a starting point (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number... * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis. * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382). * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries. * debian/rules: - s/dh_installmanpages/dh_installman/ -- Jesus Climent Sun, 7 Nov 2004 03:11:22 +0200 abcde 2.1.21 * Changed normalize with normalize-audio (Closes: #267053). -- Jesus Climent Fri, 20 Aug 2004 13:16:46 +0000 abcde 2.1.20 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release. * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround. * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649) -- Jesus Climent Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300 abcde 2.1.19 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag (Closes: #126267). -- Jesus Climent Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:04:58 +0000 abcde 2.1.18 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506) -- Jesus Climent Thu, 8 Apr 2004 05:18:49 +0000 abcde 2.1.17 * Dud! Those missing quotes are going to kill me. Quotes restored and (Closes: #242508). -- Jesus Climent Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000 abcde 2.1.16 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when spinning at high speed. * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD tray (Closes: #137548). * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata. * Documentation update: README, abcde.1 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them (Closes: #235531). * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay. * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline. * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question (Closes: #241221). * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option. * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it. * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo. -- Jesus Climent Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000 abcde 2.1.15 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path and arguments. * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different name). * Correction by "huf" . The test code in line 376 needed some quotes. * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories. * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting and wondering is somethins is happening). * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code. -- Jesus Climent Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000 abcde 2.1.14 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648). -- Jesus Climent Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000 abcde 2.1.13 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one) * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results. -- Jesus Climent Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000 abcde 2.1.12 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014) * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the tray, so that if differs we do not eject it. * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048) * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter (Closes: #121987). * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work with the reports I have received. -- Jesus Climent Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000 abcde 2.1.11 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now we will not try to be very smart. * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default HTTPGET options. * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code. (Closes: #226647) * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782). * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks. -- Jesus Climent Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000 abcde 2.1.10 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added. * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768) * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed. * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files (Closes: #172694) * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan. * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753) * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702). I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report. * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov for noticing. * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones. * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name. Kudos go to Bart Samwel. * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by Ricky Buchanan. * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the file is actually there. -- Jesus Climent Mon, 5 Jan 2004 14:43:59 +0000 abcde 2.1.9 * The "First snow in Finland" release. * One head was missing a "-n" * Not use relative links when PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX is set (Closes: #165368) * Stupid use of $OUTPUTTYPE in flac tagging (Closes: #218625) -- Jesus Climent Sun, 2 Nov 2003 09:05:17 +0000 abcde 2.1.8 * Small typo corrected (Closes: #217149) * KEEPWAVS now sets the "clean" action to "no", so the wavs are kept. (Closes: #216551) * Quick release fixing a couple of bugs introduced by the padding patch (Closes: #215962) * Control: Build-Depends-Indep: moved to Build-Depends:, as per http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps (Closes: #214200) -- Jesus Climent Thu, 23 Oct 2003 09:49:01 +0000 abcde 2.1.7 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated! * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289) * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts. (Closes: #213756) * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file. -- Jesus Climent Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000 abcde 2.1.6 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391) * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432) * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110) * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files. * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved. * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it. (Closes: #206311) * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398) -- Jesus Climent Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000 abcde 2.1.5 * Small fixes and patches. + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949) + small bug with batch encoding + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command. + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk Ruediger) + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;) Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging. * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow. * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635) * Documentation update (Closes: #198825) * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199) -- Jesus Climent Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:45:29 +0000 abcde 2.1.4 * Small bug fixes: + COMMENT should work now. + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks. + CDROM typo + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries. * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222. -- Jesus Climent Sun, 18 May 2003 18:47:36 +0000 abcde 2.1.3 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1. * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility. * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies. * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use fetch. * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes. * Typo in abcde.conf * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query. * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD tagging. * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was missing): Closes: #191475. -- Jesus Climent Sat, 10 May 2003 07:49:22 +0000 abcde 2.1.2 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230. * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections. * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you can always split the files once they are created. * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number of files (Closes: #111627). * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372). This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to another directory instead of just keep de abcde. directory. * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963). * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400). -- Jesus Climent Tue, 25 Mar 2003 16:39:25 +0200 abcde 2.1.1 * New release. -- Jesus Climent Mon, 17 Mar 2003 08:52:01 +0200 abcde 2.1.0-3 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added, but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed: Closes: #184151. * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289. * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963. * cddb-tool version updated to 0.4.2 -- Jesus Climent Fri, 14 Mar 2003 18:00:03 +0000 abcde 2.1.0-2 * Old version string left behind. Updated. * Few more doc update bits. * Patches from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #149499. * Small patch from Norbert Preining to support multiple output in the output directory. * cddb-tool parses CDYEAR with the help of awk: Closes: #114848. * cddb-tool does not globe "*" characters anymore: Closes: #157448. -- Jesus Climent Fri, 7 Mar 2003 abcde 2.1.0 * The infamous "Works for me(TM)" and "Time to release" release. + We preppend track number now: Closes: #128966. + Itegrate flac: Closes: #126311. + Multi-format encode: Closes: #148934. + Gapless lame encoding: Closes: #172696. + CDROM documented: Closes: #182403. * Applied OpenBSD patches to make the script more portable.

A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf. The program name is now 'abcde'. -- Robert Woodcock Tue, 2 Nov 1999 cdgrab 0.8.3 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx tempfiles with -j.

(Thanks again to Robert Macaulay) -- Robert Woodcock Thu, 12 Aug 1999 cdgrab 0.7.6 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :) -- Robert Woodcock Mon, 9 Aug 1999 cdgrab 0.7.5 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :) * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0. If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer" * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent cdparanoia package namechange. * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T. Norris for tracking this down. -- Robert Woodcock Tue, 13 Jul 1999 cdgrab 0.7.4 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have hit last month * Default config file now gets version number from program. * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing another 0.7.2 :) * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for pointing this out) * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT!
