In the past I've used a very nice script called "abcde" (a better CD  
encoder) which handles the ripping, track name lookup, encoding,  
storing in appropriately named directory structure etc. It defaults to  
using "lame" to make MP3s but will also output Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, etc.

Chances are that the GUI music player approaches being suggested  
elsewhere in this thread are more user-friendly, but last time I  
ripped a load of CDs (maybe 4 years ago) abcde was the perfect tool.
