Use a package named easytag. It has the ability of doing CDDB searches for
files. It's not very intuitive, but it works wonderfully.
Do you plan on encoding these files to MP3 or something else? easytag can
also fill the tags for you, after the files are encoded.

I don't know if you plan on using the ripped files to burn a new CD, but
I'd recommend cdrdao for that task. Just create a text file with the proper
format (see its man page for details) and give it to cdrdao. It's quite an
easy task.
Hope this helps, Rogério.
