In addition to being on your own for naming and tagging files if abcde doesn't find a CDDB entry(It's default to using Track followed by the track number for titles and Unknown Artist Unknown Album for Artist and Album), my experience ripping Japanese and Chinese music CDs is that often none of the CDDB entries will be Romanized, and I would assume the same holds for music in other languages that don't use the Roman Alphabet, which can be an issue for sighted users given how many terminal emulators don't support unicode and most graphical applications need foreign fonts installed to properly display unicode, but can be made worse with many screen readers not knowing how to read non-Roman text properly. Also, having used abcde to rip Audiobooks, I think it worth noting many Books-on-CD don't split the content to one chapter per track, will sometimes split a chapter across disc boundaries even when none of the chapters are long enough to mandate such, and if abcde has the capability to selectively merge tracks or to resume numbering from where a previous disc left off, I don't know how to access such options. I've run into similar issues ripping AudioCD releases of Radio Dramas. So, if you're only ripping music, abcde will usually take you from CD to files ready to be loaded on your digital media player of choice, but other kinds of audio programming are likely to mandate more post-processing. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright Bachelor of Computer Science President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
