.B \-1
Encode the whole CD in a single file. The resulting file uses the CD title
for tagging. If the resulting format is a flac file with an embedded cuesheet,
-the file can be used as a source for creating other formats. Use "-1 -M -o
-flac" for obtaining such a file.

.B \-a [actions]
-Comma-delimited list of actions to perform. Can be one or more of:
-cddb, read, normalize, encode, tag, move, replaygain, playlist, clean. Normalize
-and encode imply read. Tag implies cddb, read, encode. Move implies
-cddb, read, encode, tag. Replaygain implies cddb, read, encode, tag and move.
-Playlist implies cddb. The default is to do all actions except normalize,

.B \-b
Create DOS-style playlists, modifying the resulting one by adding CRLF line
endings. Some hardware players insist on having those to work.
.TP
-.B \-M
-Create a CUE file with information about the CD. Together with the possibility
-of creating a single file (see option "\-1"), one can recreate the original CD.
-If the cuesheet is embedded in a flac single file it can be used as source for
-encoding other formats (see option "\-d").
-.TP
.B \-o [filetype][:filetypeoptions]
Select output type. Can be "vorbis" (or "ogg"), "mp3", "flac", "spx", "mpc",
"m4a" or "wav". Specify a comma-delimited list of output types to obtain all
Use Unix PIPES to read and encode in one step. It disables multiple encodings,
since the WAV audio file is never stored in the disc.
.TP
+.B \-q [quality]
+Use a pre-defined quality level for the encoding process. Defined as low,
+medium or high. The "medium" value is used to reset the default values if other
+are used in the config file(s).
+.TP
.B \-r [hosts...]
Remote encode on this comma-delimited list of machines using distmp3. See
the REMOTEHOSTS configuration variable.
Same as \-t but changes also the internal (tag) numbering. Keep in mind that
the default TRACK tag for MP3 is $T/$TRACKS so it is changed to simply $T.
.TP
-.B \-u
-Set CDDBPROTO to version 6, so that we retrieve UTF-8 encoded CDDB
-information, and we tag and add comments with a proper encoding. This flag will
-be removed and -U will be added to set it to version 5 once version 6 becomes
-the default.
+.B \-U
+Set CDDBPROTO to version 5, so that we retrieve ISO-8859-15 encoded CDDB
+information, and we tag and add comments with Latin1 encoding.
.TP
.B \-v
Show the version and exit
.TP
.B \-W [number]
Concatenate CD\'s. It uses the number provided to define a comment "CD #" and
-to modify the numbering of the tracks, starting with "#01".
+to modify the numbering of the tracks, starting with "#01". For Ogg/Vorbis and
+FLAC files, it also defines a DISCNUMBER tag.
.TP
.B \-z
DEBUG mode: it will rip, using cdparanoia, the very first second of each track
TRACKNUM, and YEAR. Default is \'${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}-${TRACKFILE}\'.
Make sure to use single quotes around this variable. TRACKNUM is automatically
zero-padded, when the number of encoded tracks is higher than 9. When lower,
-you can force with
-'-p' in the command line.

.B VAOUTPUTFORMAT
Just like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs. The default is 'Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'
