I am new and just starting out to rip my purchased cdroms from the 60's using abcde which was highly recommended in a thread in the archives. When I rip, the tags are put in from cddb but the mp3 files names come out like 'track 1.mps'. Looking at the man pages for cdparanoia, lame and of course abcde I see no way to control the nameing of the files. My command line for abcde is: sudo abcde -V -k -o mp3 -d /dev/hdd and in ~/.abcde.conf I use the options: LAMEOPTS=--v -h CDPARANOIAOPTS=--verbose -B Am I missing a step to have the files properly named? -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux
