======================================================================
1. Introduction
======================================================================
Cuesheet Processor (CueProc) is a command-line tool for converting
audio CD images into another format such as WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MP4,
MPC, WMA, etc. The functions of this tool can be summarized as follows:

- Parse a cuesheet (a .cue or audio file with the cuesheet embedded).
  Field values in a cuesheet (e.g., TITLE, PERFORMER, REM DATE, etc)
  will be used by the latter job.
- Read audio data in a CD image (supported format: FLAC, Monkey's Audio,
  WavPack, WAVE).
- Extract tracks in a CD image to individual WAVE files.
- Execute an external encoder with predefined command-line arguments
  for each track. CueProc sets appropriate command-line arguments
  (e.g., naming for output files, tagging, etc) automatically by
  specifying a codec.
- Execute an external encoder with configurable command-line arguments.
- Send audio stream of each track to STDIN of the external encoder.
- Enumerate cuesheets recursively under a directory.
- Process multiple cuesheets at a time, which is useful for converting
  an audio collection into a lossy format.
- Skip encoding when the corresponding output file exists, which is
  useful for converting new CD images only.

CueProc is the successor tool to Audio CD Image Reader (ACDIR) and LAME
with cuesheet input.

CueProc is distributed under GNU General Public Lisence (GPL).
