"Please encode it into something noone can play" is always a most  
convincing argument. Can we yet call it a form of DRM?

My vote is for sound juicer, which will encode directly with LAME. Or  
if you don't want it on your ipod/similar, then it will do ogg too.

Rhythmbox does not (last I checked) rip, but uses sound juicer to do  
the ripping. I am not currently a desktop linux user, so I can't  
confirm that is still the case.
