The latest version is disturbingly smart about recognizing cddb (well, freedb, of course) output. I've only got two SCSI CD-ROMs in my system at the moment (I've been meaning to stick the couple spare in for this re-ripping, but haven't gotten around to it yet), but I use the attached script[1] with the two that are there. All I have to do is feed the machine a new CD every time it ejects. Sure, my processor's pegged all the time... doesn't affect performance in the least (... because abcde comes with reasonable nice settings and can be made to nice even lower). abcde's -N flag is mostly safe, but I haven't convinced myself I trust it for Various Artist CDs just yet (especially when the listings are what abcde thinks of as backwards), and I've been bit by more than a couple of CDs where some twit wanted to impose his own formatting (no-caps, all-caps, improper capitalization of particles in titles, whatever) on the rest of the world and nobody's corrected the database. That's easy enough to fix later, though, for the most part. [1] You'll want to make minor (device-naming, maybe PATH) changes if you plan to use it yourself. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
