# CDDB options
# Choose whether you want to use CDDB or Musicbrainz. Default is CDDB
#CDDBMETHOD=cddb

# If you wish to use a different CDDB server, edit this line.
# If you just wanted to use a proxy server, just set your http_proxy
# environment variable - wget will use it correctly.
#CDDBURL="http://freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi"

# The CDDB protocol level.
# Right now 5 is latin1 output and 6 is UTF8 encoding.
#CDDBPROTO=6

# The CDDB protocol requires hello information, including a valid username
# and hostname. If you feel paranoid about giving away such info, edit this
# line - the format is username@hostname.
#HELLOINFO="`whoami`@`hostname`"

# This controls the email address CDDB changes are submitted to.

# The following options control whether or not fetched CDDB entries
# are cached locally in $CDDBLOCALDIR
#CDDBCOPYLOCAL="n"
#CDDBLOCALDIR="$HOME/.cddb"
#CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE="n"

# If NOSUBMIT is set to y, then abcde will never prompt asking if you
# wish to submit your edited cddb file.
#NOSUBMIT=n

# If NOCDDBQUERY is set to y, then abcde will never even try to access
# the CDDB server; running abcde will automatically drop you into a
# blank cddb file to edit at your leisure.  This is the same as the
# -n option.  NOCDDBQUERY=y implies NOSUBMIT=y.
#NOCDDBQUERY=n

# Select here if you want to use the locally stored CDDB entries.
# This is useful if you do a lot of editing to those CDDB entries. 
# Also, other tools like Grip store CDDB entries under $HOME/.cddb,
# so they can be reused when ripping CDs.
#CDDBUSELOCAL="n"

# List, separated with a comma, the fields we want the parsing function to
# output. Defaults to YEAR and GENRE, for a complete list of fields provided by

# speexenc - the only encoder for SPEEXENCODERSYNTAX
# mpcenc - encoder for MPCENCODERSYNTAX
# faac, neroAacEnc - for AACENCODER
# opusenc - for OPUSENCODER
# default is a valid option for oggenc, lame, flac, speexenc, mpcenc, faac and opus.

# CUE reader syntax for the CUE reader program to use.
# abcde supports 2 CUE modes: 'mkcue' and 'abcde.mkcue' so you can set the
# MKCUE variable accordingly. The 'abcde.mkcue' uses an internal
# implementation, without the need of an external program.
#CUEREADERSYNTAX=default

# Specify the program to convert a CUE sheet back to a CD disc ID for CDDB queries.
# Select between '/path/to/cue2discid' (provided as an example) or

# Keep the wav files after encoding. Set it to "y" and remove "clean" from
# the list of default actions, since we purge the temp directory as default.
#KEEPWAVS=n

# Track padding: force abcde to pad tracks using 0, so every song uses a two
# digit entry. If set to "y", even a single song encoding outputs a file like
# 01.my_song.ext
#PADTRACKS=n

# Define if you want abcde to be non-interactive.
# Keep in mind that there is no way to deactivate it right now in the command
# line, so setting this option makes abcde to be always non-interactive.
#INTERACTIVE=n

# Specify 'nice'ness of the encoder, the CD reader and the distmp3 proc.
# This is a relative 'nice'ness (that is, if the parent process is at a
# nice level of 12, and the ENCNICE is set to 3, then the encoder will
# run with an absolute nice value of 15. Note also, that setting these

# Actions to take
# Comma-separated list of one or more of the following:
#  cddb,cue,read,normalize,encode,tag,move,playlist,clean,default
#   encode implies read
#   normalize implies read
#   tag implies cddb,read,encode
#   move implies cddb,read,encode,tag
#   playlist implies cddb
# An action can be added to the "default" action by specifying it along with
# "default", without having to repeat the default ones:
#  ACTIONS=default,playlist
# The default action list (referenced as "default") is defined in the following
# comment:
#ACTIONS=cddb,read,encode,tag,move,clean

# CD device you want to read from
# It can be defined as a singletrack flac file, but since it might change from
# file to file it makes little sense to define it here.
#CDROM=/dev/cdrom
# If we are using the IDE bus, we need CDPARANOIACDROMBUS defined as "d"
# If we are using the ide-scsi emulation layer, we need to define a "g"
#CDPARANOIACDROMBUS="d"

# If you'd like to make a default location that overrides the current
# directory for putting mp3's, uncomment this.
#OUTPUTDIR=`pwd`

# Or if you'd just like to put the temporary .wav files somewhere else
# you can specify that here
#WAVOUTPUTDIR=`pwd`

# OUTPUTTYPE can be any of a number of formats, either a single format
# (e.g. "ogg") or a combination of them separated with ","
# (e.g. "flac,mp3"). Currently recognised and supported are: 
# "flac", "m4a", "mp3, "mpc", "ogg", "opus", "spx", "vorbis", "wav"
#OUTPUTTYPE=ogg

# Output filename format - change this to reflect your inner desire to
# organize things differently than everyone else :)
# You have the following variables at your disposal:
# OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, TRACKNUM and YEAR.
# Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
# the directory portion of this filename.
# NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
# Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type
# to the files. Remove it from your user defined string if you are getting
# files like ".ogg.ogg".
#OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'

# Like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs.
#VAOUTPUTFORMAT='Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'

# Like OUTPUTFORMAT and VAOUTPUTFORMAT but for the ONEFILE rips.
#ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$OUTPUTFORMAT
#VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$VAOUTPUTFORMAT

# Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
# on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
#MAXPROCS=2

# Support for systems with low disk space:
# n:	Default parallelization (read entire CD in while encoding)
# y:	No parallelization (rip, encode, rip, encode...)
#LOWDISK=n

# If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
# volume differences between tracks of an album. 
#BATCHNORM=n

# Enables nogap encoding when using the 'lame' encoder.
#NOGAP=y

# Set the playlist file location format. Uses the same variables and format
# as OUTPUTFORMAT. If the playlist is specified to be in a subdirectory, it
# will be created for you and the playlist will reference files from that
# subdirectory.
#PLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
# If you want to prefix every filename in a playlist with an arbitrary
# string (such as 'http://you/yourstuff/'), use this option
#PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''

#Like PLAYLIST{FORMAT,DATAPREFIX} but for Various Artists discs:
#VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}.${OUTPUT}.m3u'
#VAPLAYLISTDATAPREFIX=''

#This will give the playlist CR-LF line-endings, if set to "y".
#(some hardware players insist on CR-LF line-endings)
#DOSPLAYLIST=n

# Custom filename munging:
# By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful
# filename:
# * Translate colons to a space and a dash for Windows compatibility
# * Eat control characters, single quotes, and question marks
# * Translate spaces and forward slashes to underscores
# To change that, redefine the mungefilename function.
# mungefilename receives the CDDB data (artist, track, title, whatever)
# as $1 and outputs it on stdout.
#mungefilename ()
#{
#	echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr \ / __ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
#}

# Custom genre munging:
# By default we just transform uppercase to lowercase. Not much of a fancy
# function, with not much use, but one can disable it or just turn the first
# Uppercase.
#mungegenre ()
#{
#	echo $CDGENRE | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"

# Custom pre-read function
# By default it does nothing.
# You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
# * Close the CD tray using eject -t (if available in eject and supported by 
#   your CD device.
# * Set the CD speed. You can also use the built-in options, but you can also 
#   set it here. In Debian, eject -x and cdset -x do the job.
# KEEP IN MIND that executables included in pre_read must be in your $PATH or
# you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
# Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.
#pre_read ()
#{

# Custom post-read function
# By default it does nothing.
# You can set some things to get abcde function in better ways:
# * Store a copy of the CD TOC.
# KEEP IN MIND that executables included in post_read must be in your $PATH or
# you have to define them with full /path/to/binary
# Uncomment and substitute the ":" with your commands.
