Instruction Guide CD ripper/player
#10
Genre, sure, but I was having more basic problems with getting tracks correctly identified out of the returned list of possibles (clearly the process of generating a digital fingerprint isn't perfect), and with the quality of the community-sourced metadata being returned for the tracks chosen. God help you if you have multi-CD sets. You may even find the contents of each CD tagged in a different language, let alone with differently organized information. 

Generally, tagging classical music is a fiddly process and I find it much easier in a full-fledged desktop app.

None of this is a deprecation of abcde itself, which is a great ripper. [It's also a beautiful example of how to write a complex app in bash.] It just can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Regards,
Kent
