I tried abcde some time ago, but the idea of doing all that in a single
shell script (abcde is that) gave me doubts about its robustness.

What I do now for ripping is run cdparanoia myself from the command line
like this:

    cdparanoia -Bq -- 1-

this gives me a set of numbered files named like track01.cdda.wav,
track01.cdda.wav etc.  Then I have my own scripts to convert and massage
the wav files.  I don't know what cdparanoia would do with one of the
enhanced discs, but I think at worst you could limit it to the audio
tracks like this:

    cdparanoia -Bq -- 1-10

(assuming there are 10 audio tracks).

Long ago there was a text-mode integrated ripper called crip, but I
don't see it packaged for gentoo.
