WAVs are CD backups, mp3 are for IPOD. Great tool. Put the cd in, type abcde and it’s all done 
# Track padding: force abcde to pad tracks using 0, so every song uses a two
# digit entry. If set to “y”, even a single song encoding outputs a file like
# 01.my_song.ext
PADTRACKS=y
#do not perform cleanup
#KEEPWAVS=Y
LAME=lame
ID3=id3
ID3V2=id3v2
#mp3 options vbr quality 2, high quality
LAMEOPTS=’-V2 –vbr-new -h’
#for bad quiality CD comment next line
CDPARANOIAOPTS=”-Z”
# Actions to take
# Comma-separated list of one or more of the following:
# cddb,cue,read,normalize,encode,tag,move,playlist,clean,default
# encode implies read
# normalize implies read
# tag implies cddb,read,encode
# move implies cddb,read,encode,tag
# playlist implies cddb
# An action can be added to the “default” action by specifying it along with
# “default”, without having to repeat the default ones:
# 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”
#CDPARANOIACDROMBUS=”d”
# If you’d like to make a default location that overrides the current
# directory for putting mp3’s, uncomment this.
OUTPUTDIR=”$HOME/Music”
# Or if you’d just like to put the temporary .wav files somewhere else
# you can specify that here
WAVOUTPUTDIR=”$HOME/Music”
# OUTPUTTYPE can be either “ogg”, “mp3″, “flac” or “spx”, or a combination
# of them separated with “,”: “ogg,mp3″.
# mp3 is for IPOD; wav is for backup
OUTPUTTYPE=”mp3,wav”
# Output filename format – change this to reflect your inner desire to
# organize things differently than everyone else
# You have the following variables at your disposal:
# OUTPUT, GENRE, ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE, and TRACKNUM.
# 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
# files like “.ogg.ogg”.
OUTPUTFORMAT=’${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}’
# Like OUTPUTFORMAT but for Various Artists discs.
VAOUTPUTFORMAT=’Various Artists-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}’
# Like OUTPUTFORMAT and VAOUTPUTFORMAT but for the ONEFILE rips.
#ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$OUTPUTFORMAT
#VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT=$VAOUTPUTFORMAT
# Define how many encoders to run at once. This makes for huge speedups
# on SMP systems. Defaults to 1. Equivalent to -j.
MAXPROCS=2
# If set to y, enables batch mode normalization, which preserves relative
# volume differences between tracks of an album.
#BATCHNORM=n
# Enables nogap encoding when using the ‘lame’ encoder.
