RipIT
RipIT is a command line program for ripping, encoding, and tagging MP3s that needs no user intervention. It is a wrapper for dagrab, cdparanoia, cdda2wav, LAME, Ogg Vorbis, Flac, Faac, and supports the retrieval and submission of CDDB entries.

Recent releases
- 25 May 2009 21:25
Changes: Beside 2 new options (normcmd to specify the command for normalize and uppercasefirst to change each word to first letter uppercase), many other options have been enhanced. The same encoder can be chosen more than once to encode the same format at different qualities. Of course, the options dirtemplate and tracktemplate accept more variables to ensure different directory names for each kind of encoding. The option ghost has been improved and tries to delete very short empty tracks. The option paranoia now has one more switch to allow normal ripping (with paranoia), and in case of failure retries once without.

Changes: This version fixes the genre feature of LAME 3.98. Update is only needed when using LAME 3.98 or newer.
- 17 Jun 2007 05:32
Changes: Some minor bugs were fixed. The following options have been introduced: merge, resume, md5sum (to create MD5-sum files for each type of sound file), core (to allow several encoding processes on each machine), fpermission and dpermission (to set directory and file permissions), ghost (an experimental feature to split wavs with silence into chunks of sound), prepend and extend (to enlarge chunks of sound when split with the ghost option), and ejectcmd and ejectopt.

Changes: A typo concerning oggenc was updated to satisfy the needs of Debian. There were no changes since 3.5.0 that concern non-Debian systems.
- 06 Jun 2006 14:22
Changes: This release can rip and encode several CDs without interruption with the option --loop, and normalize the output level with the option --normalize. A man page has been added.

Wish list
ripit is a great tool, but it could be made even
nicer. Mostly around parallelism/performance.
It'd be great to:
- rip the previous track while extacting the next
(the former is CPU-intensive, while the
latter is IO-intensive, so they should co-exist
nicely)
- play a track once its ripped (optionally)
- rip N tracks at once on an N-processor system
I have a much dummer script I've used in the
past to rip N tracks at once, and even on a 2-cpu
system it's really nice, but on a 12-processor
Sun server it totally rocks! :-)
Oh yeah!
I just have to say that RipIt is the slickest thing I've seen in a long time. Truely fire-and-forget CD Ripping
