+1 again.  There are a lot of options you have to set when ripping CDs,
so I prefer a command line program with a config file I can shove most
of them in.  I also follow that up with a script that normalizes the
filenames.

A big win for me with abcde is most programs (especially GUI ones)
insist on organizing your music into folders by artist or album, and I
put all my music in one folder so I can use grep to search for things.
abcde lets you do that, while most insist on a directory structure.
