I've tried asking in the pre_read () function, and then using the answers entered to set various variables later, but when I query the .ogg files they never have values for year or genre. I've tried to set year, YEAR, CDYEAR, genre, CDGENRE, in pre_read(), post_read(), post_encode() functions, but nothing I've tried makes it to the final output. I can show the various settings I have in my local .abcde.conf if it helps.
