+Q. What happened with normalize?
+A. Normalize has changed its name under Debian, which is the GNU/Linux
+ distribution for developing abcde (well, is The GNU/Linux Distribution
+ i only use, at the moment). Now it is called normalize-audio.
+ If you are using some other flavour of OS, you need to change the name
+ of the executable in your abcde.conf file.

Q. I am using MacOSX and I am having problems to use abcde.
A. Well, I have a Mac, but I use linux on it. I have not been able to find
a way to make it work there, since I do not have the development tools

- * 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).
- * 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).

* 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
* 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.
