It does, but CC can be a rather impoverished format for music metadata — it is
really aimed more at spot transfers.

As you’ve doubtless surmised from the other respondents to this thread, there
are lots of possibilities here, but each one typically requires a bit of custom
scripting due to variations in how the various models of rippers work. The
typical strategy is to have the ripper generate an audio file (WAV or FLAC) and
a separate file containing metadata for each track, then to run an importer
script over the resulting set of files to import them into RD. The current
2.10.x series of RD has added a number of new switches to rdimport(1) to
facilitate the writing of such scripts; to get an idea of some of the
possibilities, see:
