Any idea where I can find the key? Unfortunately the site suggested by birdlink no longer works.

FYI, I'm not able to find Andrew's public key on keys.openpgp.org anymore: it looks like it may have expired. However, I was able to get it from his website directly here. You can download it from there and import it with gpg --import [keyfile].

at least one of cdparanoia or cdda2wav (present in the cdrtools package) must be installed for abcde to work.

btw I guess I'll default to libcdio-paranoia https://www.endpointdev.com/blog/2019/08/cdparanoia-segmentation-fault/

Hi, I don't think version should be part of the directory in /usr/share/doc: /usr/share/doc/abcde-2.9.3 as opposed to /usr/share/doc/abcde. Could you please take a look? Thanks!

Need to patch the makefile but yes

According to the upstream README, at least one of cdparanoia or cdda2wav (present in the cdrtools package) must be installed for abcde to work. cdrtools currently isn't even a dependency at all, and cdparanoia is only listed as optional. I'm not sure if there's a good way to set this up in the PKGBUILD, so I would suggest just making cdparanoia required since it 1) is a very small package, and 2) seems to be the default over cdda2wav (for good reason).

This would address the issue raised in the previous comments.

@FabioLolix I just used $abcde -o flac

@exocortex haven't seen that error before, which options do you use for ripping? Maybe you need cdparaonia?

I have a weird error. When I run abcde on a fresh "minimal" arch install i get this error:

[ERROR] abcde: no cdreader found in your PATH [ERROR] abcde: hints: are all dependencies installed? has the $PATH been modified?

The day before I installed the gnome/desktop version of arch on the same machine and abcde worked. (explanation: I installed the gnome version first, because I thought I needed a graphical interface to configure stuff but realized that I didn't need it. I ripped 2 CDs and I reinstalled the minimal version).

What do I have to do here? what needs to go into $PATH?

Edit: I just fixed it: I installed cdparanoia. Could it be that cdparanoia is a dependency of abcde, that is somehow not declared in this package? It works now. Strange.

No package metadata was found for eyed3, python-eyed3 is an AUR package have you rebuilded it after the python update?

Now that python is at version 3.11 you can see packages build against 3.10 that need a rebuild with the command pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.10/

For readibility please encapsulate text error with ``` at top and bottom

result will be like this

abcde started throwing error like this one:

echo Tagging track 02 of 29: Track 2... Tagging track 02 of 29: Track 2... tagtrack-mp3-02 nice -n 10 eyeD3 --encoding utf16 -A Unknown Album -a Unknown Artist -t Track 2 -G 255 -n 02 -N 29 --comment abcde version 2.7.2 /home/philipp/abcde.a80cc71d/track02.mp3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/init.py", line 563, in from_name return next(cls.discover(name=name)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Does anybody have a clue what's going on?
