.SH NAME
abcde \- Grab an entire CD and compress it to Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Speex, AAC,
-WavPack, Monkey's Audio (ape), MPP/MP+(Musepack) and/or MP2 format.
+WavPack, Monkey's Audio (ape), MPP/MP+(Musepack), True Audio (tta) and/or MP2 format.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B abcde
.I [options] [tracks]
is designed to automate this. It will take an entire CD and convert it into
a compressed audio format - Ogg/Vorbis, MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3), Free Lossless
Audio Codec (FLAC), Ogg/Speex, MPP/MP+(Musepack), M4A (AAC) wv (WavPack),
-Monkey's Audio (ape), Opus or MPEG Audio Layer II (MP2) format(s).
+Monkey's Audio (ape), Opus, True Audio (tta) or MPEG Audio Layer II (MP2) format(s).
With one command, it will:

to generate Apple Lossless Audio Codec (alac) files. Note that qaac, refalac and fhgaacenc
are Windows applications which require Wine to be installed.

+.B TTAENCODERSYNTAX
+Specifies the style of encoder to use for True Audio (tts) encoding. We
+support \'ttaenc\' only.
+.TP
.B WVENCODERSYNTAX
Specifies the style of encoder to use for WavPack. We support \'wavpack\'
as \'default\' but \'ffmpeg'\ is the other option (Note that this is for
EJECT, MD5SUM, DISTMP3, VORBISCOMMENT, NORMALIZE, CDSPEED, MP3GAIN, VORBISGAIN,
MPCGAIN, MKCUE, MKTOC, CUE2DISCID (see option "\-X"), DIFF, HTTPGET, GLYRC,

.B COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
If you wish to specify command-line options to any of the programs \fBabcde\fR uses,
CDDAFSOPTS, CDDBTOOLOPTS, EJECTOPTS, DISTMP3OPTS, NORMALIZEOPTS, CDSPEEDOPTS, MKCUEOPTS,
VORBISCOMMMENTOPTS, METAFLACOPTS, DIFFOPTS, FLACGAINOPTS, VORBISGAINOPTS, HTTPGETOPTS,
GLYRCOPTS, IDENTIFYOPTS, CONVERTOPTS, DISPLAYCMDOPTS, QAACENCOPTS, FHGAACENCOPTS,
-ATOMICPARSLEYOPTS, FFMPEGENCOPTS and TWOLAMENCOPTS.
+ATOMICPARSLEYOPTS, FFMPEGENCOPTS, TWOLAMENCOPTS and TTAENCOPTS.

.B CDSPEEDVALUE
Set the value of the CDROM speed. The default is to read the disc as fast as
encoder. Defaults to "vorbis". Valid settings are "vorbis" (or "ogg")
(Ogg/Vorbis), "mp3" (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), "flac" (Free Lossless Audio
Codec), "mp2" (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), "spx" (Ogg/Speex), "mpc" (MPP/MP+ (Musepack),
-"m4a" (AAC or ALAC),"wv" (WavPack"), "wav" (Microsoft Waveform) or "opus"
-(Opus Interactive Audio Codec). Values like "vorbis,mp3" encode the tracks in both
-Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats. For example:
+"m4a" (AAC or ALAC),"wv" (WavPack"), "wav" (Microsoft Waveform), "opus"
+(Opus Interactive Audio Codec) or "tta" (True Audio). Values like "vorbis,mp3"
+encode the tracks in both Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats. For example:
.br
OUTPUTTYPE=vorbis,flac
.br
For each value in OUTPUTTYPE, \fBabcde\fR expands a different process for encoding,
tagging and moving, so you can use the format placeholder, OUTPUT, to create
different subdirectories to hold the different types. The variable OUTPUT will
-be 'vorbis', 'mp3', 'flac', 'spx', 'mpc', 'm4a', mp2, 'wv', 'ape' and/or 'wav', depending on the
-OUTPUTTYPE you define. For example
+be 'vorbis', 'mp3', 'flac', 'spx', 'mpc', 'm4a', mp2, 'wv', 'ape', 'tta' and/or 'wav',
+depending on the OUTPUTTYPE you define. For example
.br
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}._${TRACKFILE}'
.TP
you can force with '\-p' in the command line.

.B VAOUTPUTFORMAT
-Just like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs. The default is 'Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'

.B MAXPROCS
Defines how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups

# default is a valid option for oggenc, lame, flac, speexenc, mpcenc, wavpack,
-# faac, opus and twolame. Currently this affects the default location of the
+# faac, opus, twolame and ttaenc. Currently this affects the default location of the

# The path for qaac, refalac and fhgaacenc can be problematic as abcde
