A little off topic here, but I got really buried trying to find an answer to this googling on comp.os.linux* There are really masses of inof out there. I needed a little more direct pointer. I want to rip from audio cds direct to mp3 files from the command line. I know of a few gui tools like grip that do that but what will do it from the command line? Seems like cdparanoia needs an extra step where you make a *.wav then some other tool like lame or bladeenc to convert the wav to mp3. I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest software but I bet there is some nifty command line tool that will rip a track direct to mp3. Maybe the actual command line is 324 chars long, but so what...hehe.
