i'd already found "abcde" and it seems to be doing everything i
want. i dug around and found a "best of the box" CD, tossed it in and
just typed "abcde" and let it all default. that choked since the
first track (labelled track 00 of all things) doesn't seem to be an
audio track, so since i wanted FLAC output, i went with:
$ abcde -o flac 2-17
and away it went -- currently populating a directory of the name
"The_Box_-The_best_of_The_Box_(16_track_version)", which seems perfect
as there's no ambiguity there. as long as subsequent CDs can be that
forthcoming about their content, i think i'm in good shape.
