Nope.

That's just KDE being KDE.  kio_audiocd reads the TOC, looks that up in 
CDDB/FreeCDDB and generates "virtual folders" that contain the "virtual 
files" representing original wavs, metadata, and metadata-loaded oggs and 
mp3s.  When you move a "virtual file" to a real folder, it kicks in again 
to actually generate the data represented by pulling the audio data from 
the CD (and putting though an encoder and adding tags, as needed).

You change change the auto-encoder setting (among other things) under 
Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia -> Audio CDs.
