TODO:
----
+* flacdecode (to extract files from a -1 flac file)
+
* Get the echo instances to behave consistently
* move the wav files to a different dir if the user wants to keep the tracks
* read the TOC and CDTEXT files and store them
-* read the complete CD to a single file, storing TOC seems a good idea to
- recreate the index entries if we decide to burn the cd.
-* Make concatenating CD1...Cdn sets into one album possible: Maybe a "start
- with number for files" flag?
-* read_and_encode function that uses named pipes for further ripping/encoding
- parallelization where possible
* read_and_encode_and_tag? :)
* Customizable post-read/encode/tag hooks
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=114851)
* Support UTF-8 tags
-DONE:
-----
-* FLAC support (http://flac.sourceforge.net/)
-* Multiple ogg/mp3/flac output during the same session
-* Track padding problem with single songs.
+* From slashdot: IMHO the most important aspect of an auto-ripper, is its
+ error-handling: what happens if a CD is too scratched to rip? How should it
+ react if someone tries to rip the exact same CD? make a new rip with another
+ name ? silently overwrite the old rip? etc.
+
+ Review the things that abcde does ;)
+
+* When cdparanoia encounters a problem (disk full, data track) when abcde
+ is run in batch mode, abcde still continues, but batch mode is disabled.
+ I.e. instead of normalizing all tracks together, they are normalized
+ seperately, instead of running "lame --nogap" on all wavs, lame is
+ invoked once per wav.
+
+ Abcde should halt when a problem occurs, so it can be manually resolved.
+
+* AAC support (faac should be free?)
+
+* I used abcde to rip a cd in batch normalizing mode to mp3 (mp2
+ actually) format with toolame. The first part went fine, until toolame
+ started. That resulted in an error. Here is the relevant part of the
+ logfile made by 'abcde -D 2>logfile':
+
+ -----
+ + TRACKFILES= track1.wav track2.wav track3.wav track4.wav
+ + nice -n 10 toolame --nogap track1.wav track2.wav track3.wav track4.wav
+ toolame: unrec option -
+ toolame: unrec option n
+ toolame: -p model must be 1 or 2, not track1.wav
+ + RETURN=1
+ + '[' 1 '!=' 0 ']'
+ + echo 'batch-encode: returned code 1'
+ -----
+
+ In my abcde.conf I have "BATCH=y". Setting this to "BATCH=n" solves
+ this. "BATCH=y" is responsible for inserting '--nogap'. I don't know
+ what that is supposed to be doing, but it is only meant for use with
+ lame, and I am using toolame as that is free software: "LAME=toolame"
+ in abcde.conf.
+
+ I see two possible solutions:
+
+ 1. Check if LAME really is lame and not toolame or some other mp3
+ encoder. If so, then go ahead and insert '--nogap' in the generated
+ command. Else don't.
+
+ 2. Don't tie the '--nogap' insertion to the setting of BATCH. Make a
+ new option NOGAP or something for that.
+
+ Other than that, abcde is a brilliant time saver. Thanks!
+
+ BTW, dpkg -l toolame:
+ ii toolame 02i-2 MPEG-1 layer 2 audio encoder
