abcde je odlična skripta za grebovanje muzike za moje zahtevne potrebe. Ono što mi treba je da ripovanje bude u jednoj datoteci sa .cue listom i da od formata bude podržan .flac i .ogg, offset za CD uređaj da bi zvuk bio kvalitetan i (nije obavezno) preuzimanje naziva numera sa CDDB.org, da posle mogu da se snađem šta je šta, konverziju istovremeno u više formata i još štošta. Instalacija na Ubuntu ide iz zvaničnih repoa, sudo apt-get install abcde ili sličnom metodom.

Konfiguracija skripte koja, dakle, skida CD u jednan .flac sa .cue listom, koja je napunjena nazivima numera sa CDDB-a, ide ovako:

# -----------------$HOME/.abcde.conf----------------- #
#
# A sample configuration file to convert music cds to
#       single FLAC w/cue using abcde version 2.3.99.6
#
#       http://www.petrovicivan.com
# -------------------------------------------------- #
# Specify the encoder to use for FLAC. In this case
# flac is the only choice.
FLACENCODERSYNTAX=flac
# Specify the path to the selected encoder. In most cases the encoder
# should be in your $PATH as I illustrate below, otherwise you will
# need to specify the full path. For example: /usr/bin/flac
FLAC=flac
# Specify your required encoding options here. Multiple options can
# be selected as '--best --another-option' etc.
FLACOPTS='--verify --best'
# Output type for FLAC.
OUTPUTTYPE="flac"
# The cd ripping program to use. There are a few choices here: cdda2wav,
# dagrab, cddafs (Mac OS X only) and flac.
CDROMREADERSYNTAX=cdparanoia
# Give the location of the ripping program and pass any extra options:
CDPARANOIA=cdparanoia
CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --sample-offset +96"
# Give the location of the CD identification program:
CDDISCID=cd-discid
# Give the base location here for the encoded music files.
OUTPUTDIR="$HOME/Muzika/"
# The default actions that abcde will take.
ACTIONS=cddb,playlist,cue,read,encode,tag,move,clean
# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# multi-track encode and also for a multi-track, 'various-artist' encode:
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'
# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# single-track encode and also for a single-track 'various-artist' encode.
# (Create a single-track encode with 'abcde -1' from the commandline.)
ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'
VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'
# Create playlists for single and various-artist encodes. I would suggest
# commenting these out for single-track encoding.
PLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'
VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'
# Put spaces in the filenames instead of the more correct underscores:
mungefilename ()
{
echo "$@" | sed s,:,-,g | tr / _ | tr -d '"?[:cntrl:]
}
# What extra options?
MAXPROCS=2                              # Run a few encoders simultaneously
PADTRACKS=y                             # Makes tracks 01 02 not 1 2
EXTRAVERBOSE=y                          # Useful for debugging
EJECTCD=y                               # Please eject cd when finished :-
# Moja podešavanja
CDROM=/dev/scd0
CUEREADERSYNTAX="mkcue"

sve ovo treba kopirati u ~/.abcde.conf i prilagoditi:
CDPARANOIAOPTS – offsetu vašeg DVD uređaja sa tabele http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm (više o offset-u http://users.fulladsl.be/spb2267/offsets/offsets.htm)
i sigurno da treba prilagoditi OUTPUTDIR – direktorijum gde će biti napravljen rip
