mp3c - convert audio-cds to mp3

SYNOPSIS
mp3c [-i <configfile>] [-b <batchfile> [-t <tmpfile/dir>]] [-d <cdrom-device>] [-v] [-n]

OPTIONS

-initfile <file> use alternative configfile

-batchfile <file> run in batch mode and create shell script

-tempfile <file/dir> specify a different directory for tempfiles (ripped-files), if started in batch mode (-b option given)

-device <cdrom-device> use this device (overwrites default-configuration)

-news show which things have been changed in a news version of MP3c.

-version shows version, program and other informations and exits

For detailed help take a look in the README file. Handling of interactive- mode should be obviously.
