abcde: "a better cd encoder"
"abcde is a command line (CLI) CD encoder. It will read your CD, contact a CDDB provider, download the track information, rip your CD and store all the encoded tracks in the tree layout you define.
It supports multiple encoders for several formats, such as FLAC, Ogg/Vorbis, MP3,... and will use one single rip to create as many output formats as you want. "
There are some GUI's for abcde out there as well... but we need abcde first.
Then decide which GUI we would choose for all our Porteus variants.
