# If you wish to override these system-wide settings, create your own

# CDDB options

# Choose whether you want to use "cddb", "musicbrainz" and/or
# "cdtext". Default is "musicbrainz", but all can be specified in a
# comma delimited list to be tried sequentially. All the results will
# be displayed ready for user choice.
#CDDBMETHOD=musicbrainz

# If you wish to use a different CDDB server, edit this line.
# If you just wanted to use a proxy server, just set your http_proxy
# environment variable - wget will use it correctly.
#CDDBURL="http://freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi"

# The CDDB protocol level.
# Right now 5 is latin1 output and 6 is UTF8 encoding.
#CDDBPROTO=6

# The CDDB protocol requires hello information, including a valid username
# and hostname. If you feel paranoid about giving away such info, edit this
# line - the format is username@hostname.
#HELLOINFO="`whoami`@`hostname`"

# This controls the email address CDDB changes are submitted to.
#CDDBSUBMIT=freedb-submit@freedb.org

# The following options control whether or not fetched CDDB entries
# are cached locally in $CDDBLOCALDIR
#CDDBCOPYLOCAL="n"
#CDDBLOCALDIR="$HOME/.cddb"
#CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE="y"

# If NOSUBMIT is set to y, then abcde will never prompt asking if you
# wish to submit your edited cddb file.
#NOSUBMIT=n

# If NOCDDBQUERY is set to y, then abcde will never even try to access
# the CDDB server; running abcde will automatically drop you into a
# blank cddb file to edit at your leisure.  This is the same as the
# -n option.  NOCDDBQUERY=y implies NOSUBMIT=y.
#NOCDDBQUERY=n

# Select here if you want to use the locally stored CDDB entries.
# This is useful if you do a lot of editing to those CDDB entries.
# Also, other tools like Grip store CDDB entries under $HOME/.cddb,
# so they can be reused when ripping CDs. (If this is set to "y" make
# sure that CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE is also set to "y".)
#CDDBUSELOCAL="n"

# List, separated with a comma, the fields we want the parsing function to
# output. Defaults to YEAR and GENRE, for a complete list of fields provided by
# CDDB.
# The fields are not case sensitive. Actually, "y,g" will work as fine as "Y,G"
# or "YEAR, GENRE"
#SHOWCDDBFIELDS=year,genre

# An action can be added to the "default" action by specifying it along with

#  ACTIONS=default,playlist
# The default action list (referenced as "default") is defined in the following
# comment:
#ACTIONS=cddb,read,encode,tag,move,clean

# CD device you want to read from
# It can be defined as a singletrack flac file, but since it might change from
# file to file it makes little sense to define it here.
#CDROM=/dev/cdrom
# If we are using the IDE bus, we need CDPARANOIACDROMBUS defined as "d"
# If we are using the ide-scsi emulation layer, we need to define a "g"

# If you'd like to make a default location that overrides the current

# Or if you'd just like to put the temporary .wav files somewhere else
# you can specify that here
#WAVOUTPUTDIR=`pwd`

# OUTPUTTYPE can be any of a number of formats, either a single format
# (e.g. "ogg") or a combination of them separated with ","

# You have the following variables at your disposal:
# OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, TRACKNUM and YEAR.
# Make sure to single-quote this variable. abcde will automatically create
# the directory portion of this filename.
# NOTICE: OUTPUTTYPE has been deprecated in the OUTPUTFORMAT string.
# Since multiple-output was integrated we always append the file type
# to the files. Remove it from your user defined string if you are getting

# Custom filename munging:
# By default, abcde will do the following to CDDB data to get a useful filename:
# 1. Delete any dots preceding the title (first sed command)
# 2. Replace all spaces with an underscore (second sed command). Simply remove
#   this if you prefer spaces.
# 3. Delete a grab bag of characters which variously Windows and Linux do not permit 
#   (tr command). Remove any of these from the list if you wish to actually use them.
