What is an efficient way to achieve the ripping (+tag) under Linux?

IIRC grip will snag disc info from freedb and rip with your choice of filename and filled out ID3 tag, direclty to your favourite format for which there exists a CLI encoder.

If you have a big enough collection to warrant it, the grip guy has also written ddj which is a dbase frontend for all the info grip (optionally) sticks into a mysql dbase. It's missing some key features (eg text search) but it'll do til I write my own :) Note it also allows you to pick your favourite command line player. Cheers, Oliver -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
