abcde is a frontend command-line utility (actually, a shell script)
-that grabs tracks off a CD encodes them to Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC,
-OGG/Speex, MPP/MP+(Musepack) and/or M4A/AAC format, and tags them
-all in one go.
-
-There are many optional features that abcde supports by building
-with one or more of these optional dependencies:
-
-* faac : for creating m4a/aac files
-* id3lib : for manipulating ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags
-* id3v2 : for writing id3v2 tags
-* lame : for creating mp3 files
-* mppenc : for creating MPP/MP+(Musepack) files
-* speex : for creating Speex files
-* vorbisgain : for adjusting the volume of ogg vorbis files
-
-PLEASE NOTE: the included abcde-musicbrainz-tool script requires the
-following Perl modules (which are not available through SlackBuilds.org
-yet):
-
-MusicBrainz::DiscID
-WebService::MusicBrainz::Release
-WebService::MusicBrainz::Artist
-WebService::MusicBrainz::Response::Track
-WebService::MusicBrainz::Response::TrackList
-
-Try running abcde as root (sudo or whatever) if abcde/cd-discid thinks
-your favorite audio cd is a data cd. Please note also that faac needs
-to have mp4 support enabled to work correctly with abcde.
