A better CD encoder- you absolutely must try it.

[MorskNorsk]

Here's my little routine:

1.  cdparanoia -vQ              // Query CD-Rom for # of Tracks
2.  cdparanoia -vzX -B -- "-??"         // ?? is the # of Tracks
3.  normalize -vb *.wav         // Batch mode, verbose.
4.  oggenc -b 256 *.wav         // Encode at 256 kbps using managed bitrates
5.  rm *.wav
6.  easytag             // Tag the ogg files.
7.  chmod -w *.ogg      // Make Read-Only.

Guess I could make this into a script, but haven't gotten around to it. I've seen abcde on Freshmeat.net before. How configurable is it? If you need a good tagging / renaming program I highly recommend doing apt-get install easytag.
