That's great to hear. Thanks for the report.

Firstly I would say that single file archive (-1) is only available
for flac, so command line would look like:

abcde -V -D -B -o flac -1

I'd need to see some verbose or debug output to have an idea of what's
happening. If you don't want to mail it to everyone, feel free to open
an issue on the github repo and paste all the debug output there.
Maybe then reply all here with the issue number for anyone wanting to
follow along.

Cheers,
Josh
