How To Convert Songs From An Audio CD Into MP3/Ogg Files With K3b (HowtoForge)

HowtoForge has published a tutorial on converting audio CDs to MP3 and Ogg files using K3b. "This guide describes how you can use the CD/DVD burning application K3b to convert songs from an audio CD into MP3 or Ogg files that you can use on your MP3 player, for example (if you choose the Ogg format, your MP3 player must support it)."

Not a bad tutorial, but I prefer to use a custom script for ripping audio CD tracks. K3b is great for creating CDs/DVDs, but for extracting the music from the disc, there's no place like a command-line shell and cdparanoia. :-)

Why not use A Better CD Encoder? Just enter the CD, type abcde at the command prompt, and the CD is ripped to ogg (or mp3), useful filenames and tags included. I would love to see a similar tool for DVDs...
