From the developer:
abcde is a frontend command-line utility (actually, a shell script) that
grabs tracks off a CD or a singletrack flac file with an embedded cuesheet,
encodes them to Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Speex, M4A, Opus, WavPack,
Monkey's Audio (ape) and/or MPP/MP (Musepack) format, and tags them, all
in one go.
