[Abcde-users] bug list: up to date?

[Alan W. Kerr]

well, I've been hand-correcting and hand-adding to abcde since the late 
2.6 versions and it's about time to see if these can be officially added...

fixes:
genre... there are multiple places that genreid (numerical code), 
cdgenre (text genres), and genre/GENRE/Genre (various uses as a temp 
variable) are incorrectly used.  Most seem to have been fixed but there 
are still some...
also I was going to correct the spelling and make it match what eyed3 
uses (bug 106) and also add the "third tier" of genres, 148-191, see 
"eyeD3 -P genres".

new things:
Album Artist:
ability to set the Artist as the Album Artist for Various albums.  for 
example, in file naming, rather than Various/Winter 
Solstice/<trackname>, you could name it Windham Hill/Winter 
Solstice/<trackname> so that *every* various album is not under Various.

disc number:
I've added Disc Number and Total Discs (was never happy with the 
simplistic -W switch).   This fills the TPOS tag and can be used in 
filenames.  I've been ripping flac whole-disc backups and naming them

${ARTISTFILE}_--_${ALBUMFILE}_--_disc_${DISCNUMBER}_of_${DISCTOTAL}

cue file naming:
I've got one transparent change to cue file naming


I've got a few other "ideas"... but they need various bugs to be fixed 
first.
