Well, I discovered one called RipperX off Freshmeat. It's really a "frontend"
to some non-gui tools, but it works like a charm! :-) I stuck a CD in my drive,
started up ripperX and basically walked away... the CD was scanned and the
title of the CD and the various songs was gotten off the 'Net and the songs
named... I had to do very little configuration (other than saying where to put
temporary files while they're being converted to MP3 format and where to store
the finished MP3 files.)
Warning: It DOES take longer to encode than to rip, so if it looks like it's
stuck, it's probably just encoding songs it's already ripped.
