In case you want to install your own release, you need to download the
sources and install the complementary programs (abcde is just a frontend
and its functionality is provided by other programs).

2. EXECUTION
=========
optimize for disk conservation, use -l. You can also define
WAVOUTPUTDIR=/some/other/path to your /etc/abcde.conf or ~/.abcde.conf to
store the WAV files on another NFS shared fisk, for example.
+ Also, UNIX pipes have also been implemented, using "-P", so abcde reads and
+ encodes the tracks from the CD at once. However, it has the drawback that
+ only one format can be encoded at a time.
Q. How can i make abcde encode faster? My CD reader is way faster than the pace
it can encode my tracks.
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.

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. If you want the tagged track number to be set to the modified

+ directory, but the tag/comment information on the files will differ. If you

+ Even better! If you use "-W <cd_number>", abcde will put a comment to every

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.
+A. Use "-1" and it will be encoded in a single file. Use "-M" to make a CUE

now. For that reason some people prefer to encode to MP3.

Go buy one and you have no more reasons to use MP3.
If you are among those individuals, you might need to add support for MP3
