I would like if I can pre-supply the artist, album, and track info so they get tagged into the mp3 files.

A. That is not possible, since abcde gets the information from CDDB database.
You can create a template and fill it with the option "-n". Also, you can
get the CDDB entry and edit it yourself. abcde has also an option to drop
back to a template if you like none of the CDDB entries, selecting 0 from
the CDDB options.
</pre>again... I dont know what to write in the template file. (TRACK="Happy Birthday")?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div></div></div></div>
