Hi Edward, those are my patches. Try this:

First download the version of the code that the patches were applied 
against.  I quickly tested patching the current head but the patches 
don't apply cleanly to it.

$svn co http://abcde.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.5.4 abcde-254

Next, download the patches

$ curl -o 0001-Add-support-for-Album-Artist.patch 
"http://abcde.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=160003000&name=0001-Add-support-for-Album-Artist.patch&token=zk_B_DshhFRXk64h5ycs7ISphs4%3A1388518179383"

$ curl -o 0002-Allow-user-to-select-genre.patch 
"http://abcde.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=850001000&name=0002-Allow-user-to-select-genre.patch&token=IHmqPf6J1ExHA4zSEL3HCTmhtto%3A1388518852952"

$ curl -o 0003-Use-addstatus-checkstatus-around-do_albumartist.patch 
"http://abcde.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=160003001&name=0003-Use-addstatus-checkstatus-around-do_albumartist.patch&token=xHAAQTmlQff1K-c1Oc5Vq2HOIAg%3A1388518179383"

$ curl -o 0004-Add-support-for-album-art-download-and-embed.patch 
"http://abcde.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=330012000&name=0004-Add-support-for-album-art-download-and-embed.patch&token=eDTqUYAum0GUv2hB9anz38K6fiI%3A1388518568592"

$ curl -o 0005-Embed-album-art-in-Flac-and-Ogg.patch 
"http://abcde.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=330015000&name=0005-Embed-album-art-in-Flac-and-Ogg.patch&token=HnUqsNVRK6tHSu-dr5JsoG8uLoM%3A1388518568593"

those are the patches downloaded from ABCDE issues 16, 33 and 85. Next, 
apply them

$ cd abcde-254
$ patch < ../0001-Add-support-for-Album-Artist.patch
$ patch < ../0002-Allow-user-to-select-genre.patch
$ patch < ../0003-Use-addstatus-checkstatus-around-do_albumartist.patch
$ patch < ../0004-Add-support-for-album-art-download-and-embed.patch
$  patch < ../0005-Embed-album-art-in-Flac-and-Ogg.patch

That should give you a patched abcde and abcde.conf. It's almost a year 
since I looked at this but, if I recall correctly, the patches are 
additive so you will need to apply them all in sequence.

If you prefer, you can download from my Git repository, 
https://github.com/johnlane/abcde, this repo is already patched so just 
clone that and you'll be good to go. In  case you aren't a git user:

$ git clone https://github.com/johnlane/abcde.git

Hope that's of some assistance.

PS. I'm curious... will those patches ever make it into the "official" 
version?

Happy new year!

John
