A decent cli, CD ripper?

I've been searching for a good cli cd ripper for long, but now I really need one.

I want it to be able to automatically download tags, to have nice output and to be configurable. ATM I use cdparanoid, which only extracts tracks to their native format (wma), butI want them to be encoded to flac, or ogg, (almost) automatically.

Any idea?

abcde?

EDIT: I use it, but it's the only one I've used so couldn't claim it's the best.

Re: A decent cli, CD ripper?

I use rubyripper(-git). It has both GUI & CLI. It uses cdparanoia to rip the WAV off the CD, grabs tags from freedb if available, and encodes the WAVs to FLAC/ogg/mp3/anything you like.

Re: A decent cli, CD ripper?

I have made a custom script using cdrdao and flac for this. I post my script here in case it can be usefull (undocumented, but should be easy to understand reading the code, ask a question in case of doubt). This script also embed the TOC into the flac file.

#! /bin/bash
set -e
TEMPODIR="$HOME/.ripcd_$$"
CWD="$PWD"
OUTPUTFILE=""
KEEP=""
DEVICE=/dev/cdrom

while getopts ':o:d:k' name ; do 
    case "$name" in
        'o' )
            OUTPUTFILE="$OPTARG"
            ;;
        'd' )
            DEVICE="$OPTARG"
            ;;
        'k' )
            KEEP=1
            ;;
        ':' )
            echo "Option -$OPTARG require an argument" 2>&1
            exit 1
            ;;
        '?' )
            echo "Illegal option -$OPTARG" 2>&1
            exit 1
    esac
done

if [ -z "$OUTPUTFILE" ] ; then
    echo "Output file must be mentioned via the -o option"
    exit 1
fi

if [ -e "$OUTPUTFILE" ] || [ -L "$OUTPUTFILE" ] ; then
    echo "I will not overwrite $OUTPUTFILE"
    exit 1
fi

OUTPUTFILE="$(readlink -f "$OUTPUTFILE")"
rm -rf "$TEMPODIR"
mkdir "$TEMPODIR"
cd "$TEMPODIR"
cdrdao read-cd --device "$DEVICE" data.toc
toc2cue data.toc data.cue &> /dev/null
flac -o "$OUTPUTFILE" --cuesheet=data.cue --force-raw-format --endian=big --channels=2 --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --sign=signed data.bin
cd "$CWD"
if [ -z "$KEEP" ] ; then
    rm -rf "$TEMPODIR"
fi
