ABCDE rocks!
by Bandreo - Oct 9th 2003 13:48:43
ABCDE is great software - It Just Works. Kick it off and it does the right
thing, fetching track names from CDDB, allowing you to correct errors or
select amongst alternate versions. Then it goes off to do the ripping and
encoding. Pretty soon it's done. Voila. Just like that. No GUI needed
or required. It's a great command-line tool that does one job exceedingly
well.

flac support??
by moquist - Aug 31st 2002 01:32:18
I've modified _my_ copy of 'abcde' to do flac encoding, and you're welcome
to it if you're interested. If not, I hope you're planning that addition
yourself, and I'll look forward to it.
Thanks for your work.

Use lame to write ID3 tags
by sandolo - Feb 6th 2002 06:40:15
If you use LAME to tag encoded mp3's, you don't need anymore any external
program to write ID3 tags and the result is equal.
Btw abcde it's a great script :)

If abcde only used lame, then that would be easy. However, it has to
support half a dozen other encoders as well (including versions of lame
that don't do tagging), meaning abcde needs quite a bit of logic to verify
that it can do that in one step (and not pester you about id3 not being
installed).
With that said, it's on my todo list.

Good program
by johnathan spectre - Dec 25th 2001 09:39:26
Best one I've found so far (and I looked at a lot!) for easy, automated
ripping and encoding. Very flexible customization (something a lot of other
programs lacked) allowing me to specify just what arguments I wanted passed
on to lame, cdparanoia, etc.
Only question, anyone know an easy name to limit filename length? I'm
using my linux box as a server to some Macs and they don't see the files
with the longer filenames. :-(

Put this sed command in your mungefilename pipe:
sed 's/\([^.]\{28\}\)\?.*\.\([^.]*\)/\1.\2/'
(the 28 limits the filename minus its extension to 28 characters, for a
total max length of 32 characters)

id3v2
by karellen - Dec 19th 2001 07:14:35
Too bad I'm unable to encode mp3 with it without that
id3v2 thing (which doesn't compile). I don't use v2 tags
anyway (I think they're stupid, useless, evil) as
other people do, so there should be a switch or a config
file option to do v1.1 tagging only.
Grandmothers against ID3v2 tags.

There is a config option. Put ID3TAGV=1 in your abcde.conf, and it won't
even look for id3v2.
P.S. if you'd like help getting id3v2 compiled (hint: you need id3lib
first), email me privately. Please note which distribution you're using and
include a log of the build errors.

Awesome
by The Nose Who Knows - Jan 11th 2000 01:16:02
This program is the only reason I can be bothered ripping my entire CD
collection; it is literally set and forget. It uses all the existing
applications I already know how to use, but I can organise everything how I
want. It's a shell script too, so I can hack if I wanna :-) And I can ask
to edit the playlist before using it, because there are a lot of shitty
CDDB entries out there... I can't think how this program could be better.
