-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Attached is the latest collection of patches for ripping whole discs with abcde, including shell-script versions of cue2discid and mkcue.
This is likely the last of the abcde patches I will be releasing. I am now patching the lower-level tools used by abcde (ie: toc2cue) and hacking abcde to work with my local modifications: - - Use cdrdao to extract a toc that includes index information - - Use cdparanoia to rip the *WHOLE* disk, including any pregap - - Use custom toc2cue to export a cue file that matches the rip of the *WHOLE* disk, above. Attached is a tarball of 5 patches and a README file. For reference, the README.patches file is included here: Patches apply to abcde VERSION='2.3.99-$Revision: 208 $' abcde.cdrom.patch Adds double-quoting around the shell variable CDROM to allow for FLAC filenames containing spaces or other shell special characters. abcde.cuefile.patch Uses IFS manipulation to preserve whitespace when adding metadata to cuefile. abcde.toolame.patch Fixes toolame support (the only MP3 encoder available in Debian by default). abcde.mkcue.patch Adds abcde.mkcue function to abcde, which creates a cue file from (already created) cd-discid information. This also modifies the checkexec function to look for abcde.function "executables" as shell functions (using type) instead of executable files in the path (using which). To use, set MKCUE=abcde.mkcue in your abcde.conf file. NOTE: The abcde.mkcue function supports a --wholedisk switch, which if set will generate an INDEX 00 entry for any disc pregap (otherwise you get a PREGAP entry in the cue sheet) If: You do *NOT* use the --wholedisk switch and your disc has a pregap (audio samples before the start of track 1) and you are embedding the resulting cue sheet into a flac file then: metaflac will eat the PREGAP setting, causing the cddb query generated from the extracted cue sheet to fail I suggest ripping the entire disk (including pregap, if any) and passing the --wholedisk switch to abcde.mkcue! abcde.cue2discid.patch Adds abcde.cue2discid function to abcde, which creates an extended cddb query from a cue file embedded in a flac file. Requires the above abcde.mkcue.patch (to patch checkexec function for built-in abcde.functions). Creation of the full cddb query requires knowing where the disc leadout begins, which is typically *NOT* provided in most cue files (cue sheets embedded in flac files have a comment field listing the leadout). To use, set CUE2DISCID=abcde.cue2discid in your abcde.conf file. TODO: - - It might be useful if the abcde.mkcue function added a comment in the resulting cue file containing the leadout position. This would allow the resulting cue file to be used directly to create a cddb query, without needing the associated data file (to figure out the length of the audio, which implies the leadout position). - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFE0261enk4xp+mH40RAhgtAKCyacFW45+6FW+MHk2vX92o0jr93ACg6BBB 16/20wXZW54zIkKT4dkdnPM= =FyHc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
