abcde is a pretty good commandline ripper. It allows you to rip to multiple formats if
you wish, and sort them into separate directory structures, based on format. (Though it
has problems with multi-artist albums, for some reason)

It uses freedb to tag files, which has a rather exceptional match rate, I've found. It's
matched some of my obscure british folk-rock albums without even batting an eye.
