[abcde] Ripping with -V



Thought I'd see who's lurking on this list.

I'm having trouble with ripping compilations CDs with -V. It seems as
if -V was working (the id3 tags are correct and split up track and
artist) but the filenames are not. Maybe this is desired but I'm not
sure. I have: OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} -
${TRACKFILE}.mp3'

But even though it's correctly figuring out the artist of each track,
abcde is leaving the artists as part of ${TRACKFILE}. So I end up with
files like 01 - This Cool Song - One hit Wonder.mp3. Yes, I've set -V
forward-dash.

Is this the desired way for it to work? I will submit a patch if you
like but I figured I'd wait for the new version. I think it means
breaking things out into a few more variables -- namely ALBUMARTISTFILE
and TRACKARTISTFILE.

thanks.
