Can't help you with the hardware, but I recently ripped all my CDs (I
didn't count but it's well over a hundred).  I used a commandline tool
"ripit" - it does everything, even fills in the tags.  It allows you to
choose your ripper (cdparanoia or cdda2wav) and your encoder (lame, ogg,
flac - even all of them if you wish to have say mp3s for the iPod and
oggs for your PC).  It required a little user interaction - start the
script, then OK the suggested track info from cddb, although I think
that can be done via the conf file.
