cdparanoia for ripping, oggenc for coding. Both are in Debian; oggenc is in the vorbis-tools package. > - How to name the ogg files (using a online cd database? which?) I wrote a script that pulls information from a file to determine the song titles, oggenc arguments, and vorbis tags. That way I only have to type that stuff in once in once. I could have used FreeDB, but I find that its entries quite often have minor errors (misspellings, poor capitalization, and sometimes you get info for the wrong disc altogether), and it wouldn't have all the other information that my files have (such as options for vorbis quality level and number of channels -- I optimize monophonic tracks by throwing out the right channel to make a true one-channel vorbis file). > - What hardware to use (I have a cdda capable cdrecorder) That should do. If your CD drive is ATAPI, you may find that cdparanoia is happier if you configure your Linux kernel to use SCSI emulation on it. I find that greatly reduces jitter. > - How to store the files (on disk I guess, but in some kind of > hierarchy with category etc?) My hierarchy is fairly flat: artist/album/ with individual songs named NN-Song_Title.ogg, where NN is the track number.
