[SOLVED] abcde: Retrieved 2 matches... How to proceed / chose cddb

Hey there,

I guess there is a pretty easy solution. But I just don't get it. I am trying rip a cd using abcde. I have downloaded a sample config file for abcde from andrews-corner and changed settings to only write mp3 and flac files:

# -----------------$HOME/.abcde.conf----------------- #
# 
#  A sample configuration file to convert music cds to 
#  MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack, AAC, WavPack, Opus,
#  Monkey's Audio (ape), True Audio, AC3 and mp2, 11 formats
#  at the same time! Using abcde version 2.7.2 release version.
# 
#   http://andrews-corner.org/linux/abcde/index.html
# -------------------------------------------------- #

# Encode tracks immediately after reading. Saves disk space, gives
# better reading of 'scratchy' disks and better troubleshooting of
# encoding process but slows the operation of abcde quite a bit:
LOWDISK=y

# Specify the method to use to retrieve the track information,
# the alternative is to specify 'musicbrainz':
CDDBMETHOD=cddb

# Make a local cache of cddb entries and then volunteer to use 
# these entries when and if they match the cd:
CDDBCOPYLOCAL="y"
CDDBLOCALDIR="$HOME/.cddb"
CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE="y"
CDDBUSELOCAL="y"

The file is located in /home/user/.abcde.conf. When I try to run abcde, it results from the entries from cddb:

I assume I have to chose one of the options. But how? I cannot type anything in the terminal there.

Looks like terminal outputting to less. You'll need to stop that to pick 1 or 2.

You need to press "q" to be able to select the option.

Thank you two, didn´ t know about the "q". Solved
