Question: How can I achieve my expected result of tracks that are numbered with sequential {DiscNumber}{TrackNumber} - Artist - Album.mp3?
Background: When using abcde to rip a set of audiobook CDs, the tracks for a given disc, for example disc 1 of a multidisc set, are numbered as below
Actual files created for Disc 1
65 - Artist - Album.mp3
66 - Artist - Album.mp3
67 - Artist - Album.mp3
68 - Artist - Album.mp3
n - Artist - Album.mp3
Actual files created for Disc 2
99 - Artist - Album.mp3
100 - Artist - Album.mp3
101 - Artist - Album.mp3
102 - Artist - Album.mp3
n - Artist - Album.mp3
Expected files for Disc 1
0101 - Artist - Album.mp3
0102 - Artist - Album.mp3
0103 - Artist - Album.mp3
0104 - Artist - Album.mp3
Expected files for Disc 2
0201 - Artist - Album.mp3
0202 - Artist - Album.mp3
0203 - Artist - Album.mp3
0204 - Artist - Album.mp3
I believe my configuration should create track names numbered like my "Expected files" above. I suspect that some online metadata (maybe from CDDB or musicbrainz), is causing them to be named with a different numeric range, even though I've explicitly named the tracks in the .cddb entry.
The command I'm using to invoke abcde: abcde -c ./.abcde.audiobook.conf -d /dev/sr0 -W 01 -p
my default abcde conf file - .abcde.conf
my override abcde conf file - .abcde.audiobook.conf
Things to note...
- I'm using the
-W ##to prefix the filenames with disc01, 02, ... n - I'm also using -p to pad tracks, which, in my experience, does not work
- Given #2, I manually pad tracks 0-9 with my editor, when the CDDB entry is displayed for me.

I've used abcde to rip multi-disc audiobook sets many times in the past and have never seen this behavior. I've tried removing the <TAG> action from my abcde.conf as well as the CDDB action.. nothing seems to help the issue. – kdford – 2019-05-27T18:17:47.610
Thanks for the suggestion @KamilMaciorowski. Hopefully the question is now clear. – kdford – 2019-05-27T22:46:41.457
