+Q. I have a CD with a data track, and abcde complaints it cannot read/encode
+ it.
+A. From version 2.2 onwards, abcde includes some checkings with cdparanoia, to
+ try to get this right.
+ (It is not easy to find a data track on a CD. Right now, I can only think
+ of getting the track info from CDDB and ask the user for continuing should
+ a "data" track name is found. But the solution is far from been optimal.
+ For now, if you find a "data" track and you know the number, restart abcde
+ specifying the tracks to be encoded, leaving out the data one).
+
+Q. I am requested to have "eject" when setting the speed although I do not use
+ it for anything.
+A. If you do not use cdparanoia, eject is used for setting the speed of the
+ cdrom drive. You can substitute it for "setcd" with "-x" as the argument,
+ but you have to install it manually (setcd is, at least, available in
+ Debian).
+ Another way to get the same results is using the pre_read function, defined
+ in your /etc/abcde.conf file.
+
+Q. I have a CD set with 1+ discs, and want to have them in the same directory,
+ sorted properly. What can abcde do for me?
+A. Set abcde to rip the first CD and give it the option "-t 101". Use a generic
+ name for the CD, and reuse it with the rest of the CDs, editing the CDDB
+ entries. Use "-t 201" for the second CD and so on. Use "-w <comment>" to
+ add a comment about the CD you are ripping (-w "disc #"). Alternatively you
+ can use only the "-t ###" option and then move all the files to the same
+ directory, but the tag/comment information on the files will differ. If you
+ want the tagged track number to be set to the modified number you should use
+ "-T ###".
+ Even better! If you use "-W <cd_number>", abcde will put a comment to every
+ CD set ("CD <number>") and modify the number of the tracks both in the file
+ name and the tag/comment information.
+
+Q. I have a live concert. I want to encode it in a single file. How do i do it?
+A. Use "-1" and it will be encoded in a single file. Use "cue" as an action to
+ make a CUE sheet file where the information about the tracks is stored.
+
+Q. Can I use abcde to take a backup of my CD collection?
+A. Yes. Use "abcde -1 -o flac -a default,cue" and it will create a single-track
+ FLAC file with an embedded cuesheet. Later on, you can use the command
+ "abcde -o vorbis -d flac-file.flac" to extract the individual tracks in
+ Ogg/Vorbis format. Of course you can select whatever format you want.
