Well, you still need to rip them as that is the process to extract the content from the CD. I don't know about cdparanoia, but most rippers I've had any dealing with extract the content and leave it as a .wav file on the hard disk. You most definitely would want to convert these .wav files to mp3 or ogg to save space. Mp3's are on average one tenth the size of the .wav counterpart.
