3 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
4 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
5 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
6 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
7 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
8 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
9 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
10 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
11 abcde -a tag,move,clean
12 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
13 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
14 files, which we encoded previously.
15 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
16 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
18 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
22 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
23 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
25 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
26 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
27 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded
28 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
29 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
30 * BATCH has been splitted into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
31 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
32 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
33 * Added replygain using the appropiate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
34 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individualy
35 in the chain of events.
36 * debian/{rules,control}:
37 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accomodate to compat
39 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
40 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
41 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
42 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
43 is not added to abcde).
44 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.

50 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
51 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
53 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
54 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
55 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).

61 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
62 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
63 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.

69 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
70 several places. Fixed.

76 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
77 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
78 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
79 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
82 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
86 * New upstream release!
87 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
88 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
89 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
91 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
92 a space (Closes: #147493).
93 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
94 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
95 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
96 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
97 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
98 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
99 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
100 as a post-process action.
101 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
102 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
103 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
104 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
105 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
106 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
107 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
108 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
110 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
111 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
112 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
113 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
114 actual default option.
116 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300

127 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
128 * Removed some useless lines.
129 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
130 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
131 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
132 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
134 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
138 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
139 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
140 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
141 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
142 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
143 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
144 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
145 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
146 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
147 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
149 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.

156 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
157 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
158 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name

174 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
178 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
179 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
180 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
181 corecodec.org for code.
182 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
183 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
184 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
186 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
188 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
189 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
190 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
191 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
192 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
193 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
194 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
195 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
196 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
197 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
198 * Bug fixes along the code:
199 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
200 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
201 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
202 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
203 - abcde.conf additions
204 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
205 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
206 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
207 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
208 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
209 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
210 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
212 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
213 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
214 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
215 for noticing and sending the patch.
216 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
217 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
218 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
219 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
220 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
221 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
222 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

236 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
237 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
238 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current

267 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
268 spinning at high speed.
269 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
270 tray (Closes: #137548).
271 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
272 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
273 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
275 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
276 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
277 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
279 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
280 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
281 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
282 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
283 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
284 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.

296 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
297 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
298 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
299 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
300 and wondering is somethins is happening).
301 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.

313 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
314 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
315 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
316 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
317 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.

323 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
324 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
325 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
326 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
327 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
328 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
329 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
331 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
332 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
333 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
334 with the reports I have received.

340 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
341 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
342 we will not try to be very smart.
343 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
345 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
347 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
348 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
349 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
350 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work

359 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
360 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
362 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
363 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
364 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
365 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
366 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
367 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
368 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
369 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
370 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
372 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.

374 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
375 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.

424 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
425 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
426 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.

435 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
436 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
437 + small bug with batch encoding
438 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
439 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
440 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
442 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
443 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
444 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
445 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
446 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)

467 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
468 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
470 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
472 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
473 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD

482 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
483 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
484 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
485 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
486 can always split the files once they are created.
487 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
488 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
489 of files (Closes: #111627).
490 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
491 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
492 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
493 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
494 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).

759 edit or otherwise muck with the data after you have a chance to see it.
761 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jun 2000
765 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.

848 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
849 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.
850 * Now uses id3's new -T option to embed track numbers in ID3 tags.

888 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
891 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
895 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
896 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
897 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
898 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
899 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
901 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
902 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
904 The program name is now 'abcde'.
906 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
910 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx

928 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
932 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
933 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
934 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
935 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
936 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
937 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
940 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
944 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
945 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
947 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
951 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
952 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
954 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
958 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
959 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
960 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
961 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
962 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
963 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
964 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accomodates the recent
965 cdparanoia package namechange.
966 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
967 Norris for tracking this down.
969 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
973 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
974 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
976 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
977 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
978 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
979 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
981 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
982 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
983 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
985 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
987 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999

1003 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1007 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1008 parallelized session.
1009 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1010 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1011 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1013 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1017 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1018 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1019 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1021 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1023 * Output fix for TOC printing
1024 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1026 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999

1053 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1054 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1055 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1057 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1061 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1062 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1063 (I wish mutt did this :)
1064 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1065 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1066 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1067 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1069 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1073 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1074 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1075 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1076 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1077 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1078 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
