If you wish to specify command-line options to any of the programs abcde uses,
set the following configuration file options: LAMEOPTS, TOOLAMEOPTS, GOGOOPTS,
BLADEENCOPTS, L3ENCOPTS, XINGMP3ENCOPTS, MP3ENCOPTS, VORBIZEOPTS, OGGENCOPTS,
-FLACOPTS, SPEEXENCOPTS, MPPENCOPTS, AACENCOPTS, ID3OPTS, ID3V2OPTS,
+FLACOPTS, SPEEXENCOPTS, MPPENCOPTS, AACENCOPTS, ID3OPTS, ID3V2OPTS, MP3GAINOPTS,
CDPARANOIAOPTS, CDDA2WAVOPTS, CDDAFSOPTS, CDDBTOOLOPTS, EJECTOPTS, DISTMP3OPTS,
NORMALIZEOPTS, CDSPEEDOPTS, MKCUEOPTS, VORBISCOMMMENTOPTS, METAFLACOPTS,
-DIFFOPTS and HTTPGETOPTS.

.B CDSPEEDVALUE
Set the value of the CDROM speed. The default is to read the disc as fast as
(Ogg/Vorbis), "mp3" (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), "flac" (Free Lossless Audio
Codec), "spx" (Ogg/Speex), "mpc" (MPP/MP+ (Musepack)), "m4a" (for M4A (AAC)) or
"wav" (Microsoft Waveform). Values like "vorbis,mp3" encode the tracks in both
-Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats.
+Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats. For example
+.br
+OUTPUTTYPE=vorbis,flac
.br
For each value in OUTPUTTYPE, abcde expands a different process for encoding,
tagging and moving, so you can use the format placeholder, OUTPUT, to create
requires several hundred MB less space to complete the encoding of an
entire CD. Use only if your system is low on space and cannot encode as
quickly as it can read.
+
+Note that this option may also help when reading
+a CD with errors. This is because on a scratchy disk reading is quite timing
+sensitive and this option reduces the background load on the system which
+allows the ripping program more precise control.

.B BATCHNORM
If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
