    How do I keep the Umlauts?

    Thanx

    no, you don't have to copy it back (if you do that, all users will use the new file if they dont have their own .abce.conf in their home-dir)

    iirc umlauts are saved correctly. maybe you can't display it in your terminal because you use the wrong charset!
    btw: its the "Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung", and there's no umlaut

    Re: [HOWTO] abcde

    Thanks for the how-to. I've been searching for a way to simultaneously rip my CD collection to FLAC and mp3 formats, one for archival and one for use with portables.

    Now, is there a way to have the flac and mp3 output files go into different subdirectories? I don't want both sets of files ripped into the same directory. For instance, let's say I have a big second hard drive mounted at /music, and I want to have the flac files go into /music/flac , and the mp3s into /music/mp3.

    Anyone know how to do this?

    TIA,

    flac and mp3 in separate directories - solved

    Okay, I figured it out. The following snippets from abcde.conf tell how to do this:
    OUTPUTDIR="/music"
    OUTPUTTYPE=flac,mp3
    OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
    This combination puts the FLAC files in /music/flac, and the mp3 files in /music/mp3.

    The key is the ${OUTPUT}/ bit in OUTPUTFORMAT; ${OUTPUT} is "flac" for FLAC and "mp3" for MP3.

    Re: [HOWTO] abcde

    First of all, I wanted to share this with you guys, thinking it might be appealing to some of you. Secondly, I'm looking for help with it.

    How would I would go about applying a patch to abcde? Namely, this one over at Hydrogenaudio.org...

    Re: [HOWTO] abcde

    Ok, I've got this working pretty well (I gave up on the patch, because I'm interested in single-file rips). Here's my situation though, I want to be able to rip to single file flac, that I can easily and accurately burn to a blank cd. I think that with brasero (formerly bonfire) I can point it to a cue sheet that references a flac image, it will burn it to the cd properly, but what about if the cue sheet is embedded? Are there any native linux applications that can easily and accurately burn a single file, cue embedded flack file to a cd?

    If not, I will need to set up abcde to output a single file flac with embedded cue (so I can use abcde to split and encode to mp3 at a later time), AND an external cue sheet, so I can burn copies easily with Brasero (or other capable burning application). Thanks!

    Re: [HOWTO] abcde

    bump. are there any abcde users out there that can help me? what should i have in my abcde.conf to let me rip to a single-file flac image that i can later burn to a cd easily? also, if possible, i'd like to rip to mp3 tracks also, can this be done simultaneously, or do i need to do it in through a separate process?

    finally, I want to apply album based replay-gain to all of my files. should i apply this in the "FLACOPTS" field, or through the "normalize" options?

    Re: [HOWTO] abcde

    need some help
    Code:
     VAOUTPUTFORMAT=’VA-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE} - ${TRACKFILE}’
    gives me an error and the Track gets written "as Artist -.mp3", without spaces it gets written correct.
    So how do I get spaces in there?
