I suspect that the startup script may need a bit of work, because although I have it set to start at bootup, and I do see it activate every 60 seconds when I have "top" running, it doesn't function without manually starting it (using the above listed command). Perhaps the $PATH has to be added to the original startup script.

		+	===Controlling Encoding Quality & Options===
	You can pass arguements to specify the type (variable, average, constant) of bit rate and the quality of the encoding. See the abcde and lame man pages for more details, but here is a starter. Using nano or your favorite editor, open /usr/local/bin/cdripper.sh . Find the following line:		You can pass arguements to specify the type (variable, average, constant) of bit rate and the quality of the encoding.

	abcde -d $CDS -o mp3 -acddb,tag,playlist,move,clean -N -l -m -x		abcde -d $CDS -o mp3 -acddb,tag,playlist,move,clean -N -l -m -x

		+
		+	===Easy Access to Encoded Music via Samba===
		+	If you access your music share(s) via Samba, you may notice that the output from Mediaripper is read-only. A simple (albeit perhaps inelegant) way around this is to add in the lines (comments are optional) at the end of /usr/local/bin/cdripper.sh:
		+
		+	if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
		+	echo $DISCID >> encoded_discs
		+	fi
		+	# make the whole music directory universal rwx
		+	chmod -R 777 $MUSICDIR
		+	cd $THISDIR
		+	fi
		+	done
		+	As usual, if you are concerned about security, then adjust this to your needs.
