[Abcde-users] abcde in debian wiki

[andrew]

Hi Tom,

Good to see some more online documentation for abcde! As for mp3
tagging bear in mind that for abcde 2.6 at least there are a few small
issues with eyeD3 versions that have been rectified in abcde 2.6.1
development version and also I believe in the Jessie release of Debian
(but I do not know much about Debian I'm afraid!).

Interestingly enough there is also a commit which allows manipulation
of ID3TAGV to give these possibilities:

  * id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
  * id3v2.3 using id3v2
  * id3v1 using id3

So a great time to have some well written documentation available
online, particularly when 2.6.1 is released :).

Thanks for your work,

Andrew
