Bear in mind that you will need to double-check FreeDB information if
you care at all about correctness. About half of the CDs I rip (and
pull CDDB info from FreeDB for) have incorrect, missing, or just
plain stupid information in FreeDB. FreeDB information can also be
wildly inconsistent, especially where multi-disc album sets are
concerned.

Thanks for saving me the trouble :-P
Here's what I'm doing. I'm ripping wav's from family CDs to put on my
kid's new mp3 player. They all come out:
trackNN.cdd*
where NN = a track number.
Up to now, I've been changing the names to the song names using mv on the
command line. A drag. Now I'm completing a script that spills the text TOC
(when there is one) and automatically does the renames. Too cool. The app
will then let him select what he wants on the player, lame it up, let him
move it over and rearrange them, etc.
But bad info off the internet isn't much of a step forward.
Lan,
Check out Grip. It rips CDs and uses one of the Internet databases to
tag the files and make file names with the title in the name. I don't
know how well it works with freedb.
