27 # If NOSUBMIT is set to y, then abcde will never prompt asking if you
28 # wish to submit your edited cddb file.
31 # If NOCDDBQUERY is set to y, then abcde will never even try to access
32 # the CDDB server; running abcde will automatically drop you into a
33 # blank cddb file to edit at your leisure. This is the same as the
34 # -n option. NOCDDBQUERY=y implies NOSUBMIT=y.
37 # Select here if you want to use the locally stored CDDB entries.
38 # This is useful if you do a lot of editing to those CDDB entries.
39 # Also, other tools like Grip store CDDB entries under $HOME/.cddb,
40 # so they can be reused when ripping CDs.

77 # Keep in mind that there is no way to deactivate it right now in the command

82 # This is a relative 'nice'ness (that is, if the parent process is at a
83 # nice level of 12, and the ENCNICE is set to 3, then the encoder will
84 # run with an absolute nice value of 15. Note also, that setting these

196 # Output filename format - change this to reflect your inner desire to

198 # You have the following variables at your disposal:
199 # OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, and TRACKNUM.
200 # Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
201 # the directory portion of this filename.
202 # NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
203 # Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type
204 # to the files. Remove it from your user defined string if you are getting
205 # files like ".ogg.ogg".
206 #OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
208 # Like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs.
209 #VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}/${TRACKFILE}'
211 # Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
212 # on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
215 # Support for systems with low disk space:
216 # n: Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
217 # y: No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
220 # If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
221 # volume differences between tracks of an album. Also enables nogap encoding
222 # when using the 'lame' encoder.
225 # Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
226 # as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
227 # will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
229 #PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
230 # If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
231 # string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option
232 #PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''
234 #Like PLAYLIST{FORMAT,DATAPREFIX} but for Various Artists discs:
235 #VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
236 #VAPLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''
238 #This will give the playlist CR-LF line-endings, if set to "y".
239 #(some hardware players insist on CR-LF line-endings)
242 # Custom filename munging:
243 # By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful
245 # * Translate colons to a space and a dash for Windows compatibility
246 # * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
247 # * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores
248 # * Translate stars into pluses.
249 # To change that, redefine the mungefilename function.
250 # mungefilename recieves the CDDB data (artist, track, title, whatever)
251 # as $1 and outputs it on stdout.
254 # echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr \ /\* __+ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
257 # Custom genre munging:
258 # By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
259 # function, with not much use, but one can disable it ot just turn the first
263 # echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"
267 # Custom pre-read function
268 # By default it does nothing.
269 # You can set some things to get abcde funtion in better ways:
270 # * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by
272 # * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also
273 # set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
274 # KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
275 # you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
281 # If you'd like to have abcde eject the cdrom after all the tracks have been
282 # read, uncomment the following line.
285 # To encode on the remote machines foo, bar, baz, quux, and qiix, as well as
286 # on the local machine (requires distmp3 to be installed on local machine and
287 # distmp3host to be installed and running on all remote machines - see README)
