Ripping a CD on linux via the command line - which even works for "funny" CDs

Recently I installed a car radio with a USB slot, so I wanted to take some of my music to the car.

Since I have about 500< CDs you see the need for storing them as mp3s I hope.
And by law I am allowed to do so, but some companies make it difficult to do so.

Normally I ripped with k3b, but the settings always disappear, and I switched to KAudioCreator (grip etc did not work), but even there its funny sometimes.

These three commands will rip any CD:

1. show CD content: sudo cdparanoia -vsQ
2.  rip to the harddrive (mkdir first!): sudo cdparanoia -B
3. convert to mp3: for f in *.wav; do lame --vbr-new -V 3  "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done
4. now I used KTagEditor for processing the id3 tag manually

But I will try the tool "ripit" for now, it looks promissing.

PS: actually, you should use ripit (on linux) because it uses cdparanioa as well as lame with CDDB queries. One command, some YES to CDDB choices and the cd is ripped.
