When ripping cassette tapes, I do:
- use sox's "rec" to record a wav file of the whole side of a tape.
- open the wav in `audacity' to visually find the spots that separate
  one song from another, writing down the second at which they occur.
  I generally check the timestamps I write down by comparing them to
  the "official" duration of each song.
- run `wavsplit' passing it the timestamps I just wrote down.
- rename the resulting wav files (so the name reflects the title,
  tracknumber, ...).
- pass them through a `for' loop that compresses them with oggenc.
