I've used autorip - a really nifty perl script that not only rips an entire CD into mp3, but it looks up that cd in the cddb so that the names are (usually) right. Oh, wait, I'm wrong - it does not rip an entire cd. It waits for a cd to be inserted into the CD drive, rips it, ejects it when done, and then waits for another cd to be inserted to repeat the above with. So you run autorip, jam the first cd in the drive, and when it ejects take it out and jam another one in until all your cd's are done. It creates directories, named by the title (and author, I think) of the CD, with the mp3s inside there with names like 01_This_is_The_First_Song.mp3 02_This_is_the_Second_Song.mp3 and so forth. The only down side is that spaces in the name are converted to '_', so the names get kinda long and verbose ;-) (as you can see above in my contrived example) rc Rusty E.
