I have a set of various shell-script that make this kind (ripping) quit
easy. I have converted my whole CD-collection to the ogg by this system.

The system will generated CD-id+timestamp based filenames, and xml-file,
which will contain artist, album, track number, length etc information.
After that, there is utility wich will generate symlink based
artist/album/track#-trackname.ogg file structure. Those original files are
stored to the separeted location.

However, my computer is out of order atm, so if you are interested, you
have to wait, until I get it up and running again. =)

BR, Jani
