Someone has written a perl sdcript called rip (cannot remember the web page, but it's linked from the lame page, in the software that uses Lame section). It is a front end to paranoia and your choice of bladeemc, Lame or Oggenc, and very nice it is too. If memory serves though, it could be: http://rip.sourceforge.net p.s. I just looked at the site, I did get the url correct. It seems that the latest version, which I don't have, also has support for the new FLAC audio compression, oh yes and I forgot, for ripping those music cds, it also calls cddb to get the track info.
