It's fairly trivial to code up a small chunk of code to convert, rename and tag the files one has ripped with CDParanoia. One might even use, oh I don't know, Perl. (Please archive in FLAC if you have the storage space; it will cause the least trouble in the long run, as it is the most widely-supported and least legally-encumbered lossless compression format. Which is not to say you shouldn't also transcode to something lossy for devices with limited storage...) R
