Hello Lynnette,
In respect of this program. It is very easy. However, the more you want =
to customise the more it is involved. There is one file that you need to =
edit, if you wish to change anything from the defaults. It's as simple =
as typing abcde.
To Install, providing you have Macports installed:
# sudo port install abcde
Put your CD in the drive and type:
# abcde
This will put a full stop after the number of the track. It will create =
a directory of the artist's name. Inside that directory, will be a sub =
directory of the artist's name. Of the albumn. Being open source =
software the default format is vorbis ogg. It is in q3 mode. All of this =
is changeable within the abcde.conf file. It is very well commented =
file. It can be edited within TextEdit. By default is found in =
/opt/local/etc/abcde.conf.
It is better to leave that one alone and make a copy of it in your own =
home directory. I then copy that one to a file called rip-ogg and =
another called rip-mp3. I then edit both of those rip files with the =
settings I desire for ogg and mp3 files. When I come to rip a disk to =
mp3 I type:
# abcde -c rip-mp3
and for ogg:
# abcde -c rip-ogg.
I have kept the above very simple and such examples may need path =
directives. If you put your customised files in a different place to =
that you give the command.

An example of the default might be from pwd (Present working directory)
Artist Name
inside that
Album Name
Inside that
01.Track_Name.ogg
The only problem I have found is ejecting the CD. I'm having to switch =
to the desktop and ejecting from there.
If you wish to view a abcde.conf which is similar to the default:

14078946506&name=3Dabcde.conf&token=3Da2f898087a0a3c9f37e4435b187e80c3
VO and Safari seem to take you through 69 numbered links before the =
text. I think it is a method of editing that copy and saving it locally.
