I use grip; it grabs the audio from the disc, then encodes it in your preferred format. It is very flexible; it saves the files in the correct location based on artist and title (if you want), sets the tags properly, etc. I use mp3 format, just because I want the flexibility of playing my music

Hello Roberto, I use abcd with cdparanoia to grab and oggenc to encode in ogg. (No patents with oggs!) Although these are console tools, they work just perfect without any interaction, ie. grabbing cds track by track, encoding them into ogg (you can set it to mp3 too, if you'd like mp3 better)
