I don't believe there's metadata on the CD outside of cd-text, which is |
| 12 |
very limited. |

I've messed around quite a bit with ripping on linux (although not in |
| 15 |
the last 1-2 years) and eventually just gave up and ran EAC under wine. |

EAC uses the album information on the CD to look up track lists on the |
| 17 |
internet. Ripping and tagging are done in one step this way. |

Outside of that, you can use something like EasyTAG to tag the tracks |
| 20 |
after they are ripped. You can also use it to search databases on the |
| 21 |
internet to get tags. However, with really new or obscure albums they |
| 22 |
may not exist - you might have to tag them manually anyway. |
