-Need to go through an HTTP proxy for CDDB access? No problem, just export your
-http_proxy variable first so wget/fetch/curl can see it.
-
-You already store CDDB entries for your CD collection on your hard disk? Piece
-of cake. Just edit CDDBLOCALDIR to point to the repository and give abcde the
-"-L" flag to make use of it.
-
-Low on disk space? abcde has different algorithms to schedule ripping and
-encoding - to optimize for disk conservation, use -l.
-
-abcde can also take advantage of SMP systems, just like make. Try 'abcde -j 2' -
-it'll run two encoder jobs while it rips the next track.
-
-abcde now uses FreeDB by default. To use a different FreeDB mirror or another
-CDDB service, change the CDDBURL option in your abcde.conf.

-Frustrated that you can't use the CPU power on Machine A sitting right next to
-Machine B with the fast cdrom drive? Now you don't have to be - Run distmp3host
-(included in distmp3) on Machine A, and then run abcde -r MachineA from Machine
-B (where "MachineA" is a dns name or IP address). Use this in combination with
-'-j 0' to shift all encoding off the local machine.
-
-You do not have internet connection, or just feel with free time to write down
-all the song names and artists instead of using CDDB? Use -n and edit the
-template.
+Many of the questions related of problems executing abcde have been moved to the
+FAQ, which should be distributed along with this package. Reffer to that file
