Is there an automated way in Linux to place an audio CD-ROM into the tray and have it rip into 256k "CD-quality" MP3s without user intervention? I know about lame as an encoder from .wav to .mp3.
I use a hacky perl script that uses cdparanoia and lame. It's pretty ghetto, so I'll let you roll your own, or maybe someone else on this list has a better one. But I just pop the CD into my P200 and let it go overnight, and compress a variable-rate 256k. (Averages 120-150 on most discs.) Then when it's done, I rename the resultant .mp3 files. You'll get extra credit, though, if you have it look up the CDDB and rename the tracks for you. :) -Chuck (If you're *really* interested, I can send you the script that I have when I get to my box at home. The only good thing about my script is that it parallelizes the ripping with the encoding. ie. it encodes track 1 while track 2 is ripping, etc...)
