ABCDE ( A B etter CD E ncoder, formerly cdgrab ) is a command-line tool for reading audio CDs (English: Digital Audio Extraction DAE, so-called " ribs ") for Unix-like operating systems such as Linux . It supports querying the freedb and can encode in various formats, including (Ogg) Vorbis , FLAC , MP3 (Ogg) Speex , AAC and Musepack (MPP / MP +) and WAV .

It is distributed as free software also in source code under the conditions of version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It can be installed from the standard package sources on most popular Linux distributions . It is a shell script - frontend to cdparanoia or icedax (successor to cdda2wav ) and other auxiliary programs.

The project was initiated by Robert Woodcock, who developed the software until 2002. The first release (version 0.2) took place on February 21, 1999 under the original name "cdgrab". With version 0.8.4 of November 2, 1999, the name was changed to “abcde” because another CD ripper for DOS called “cdgrab” has been in existence since 1993 and is still being actively developed.
