Take a look at grip. It's cool, it rocks. It's a front end for ripping. I think it use cdparanoia by default to do the ripping. It should be shipped with the RH distro, but usually it's not installed by default. You can set it up so that it automatically rip the CD on insert, and eject it when done. You can set up the path of the ripped file based on artist name, or album name, or that kind of information. It will query either freedb or cddb to get CD info. It can encode to mp3 or ogg also if you want. You have to use lame or oggenc to encode it to mp3 or ogg, but all can be controled by grip as the front end. http://nostatic.org/grip/ Hope that helps.
