This version adds the option to copy Hidden Track One Audio (HTOA), if
it exists. Not all optical drives can read this track but of the 4
drives I tried, they all could. Two of the drives gave some scsi debug
messages but otherwise the track copied fine and the rest of the CD
was ripped as usual.
For FLACs there's also a new comment class: abcde generated comment.
FLAC format can have many comments. I use the following
classification:
- user comment: set with the cli -w option or COMMENT in the conf
file, applied to all tracks
- disc comment: set by the CDDB EXTD comment, applied to all tracks
- track comment: set by the CDDB EXTTn comment per track, applied to track n
- abcde comment: set by abcde, applied to current track. In the case
of HTOA above, this is set to "Hidden Track One Audio"

There's an updated .deb package. Please try the new feature and let me
know how you go.
