I want to rip audio CDs to both mp3 and flac format using abcde. I want the files to be in completely different directory trees, e.g. ~/Music/mp3/<artist>/<album>/<track>.mp3 and ~/Music/flac/<artist>/<album>/<track>.flac.
Is there a way to configure the .abcde.conf such that I can route the multiple file formats into different locations?
I addressed this by creating separate configuration files abcde.conf.mp3, abcde.conf.flac and then just selecting the one to use on the command line, e.g. abcde -c abcde.conf.mp3.
Solution: Add ${OUTPUT} to your OUTPUTFORMAT entry in your .conf file.
For example: OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} - ${TRACKFILE}'
The top directory will be named mp3 or flac or however you encode. If you encode 3 ways at once 3 directories will be created.
