just realized I never responded to the end part of this thread.  If
anyone's still itnerested, I went with abcde, which simultaneously
ripped to flac and mp3.  It mostly worked really, well, though osmetimes
I'd have several threads rnning simultaneously (I set gnome to run it
automatically when I popped in a cd, and as soon as the cd was copied as
raw wav file it would eject, and I'd put hte next in) and I've
discovered rather belatedly that these threads can interfere iwth each
other, so I have some very interesting mp3's on my ipod... anyway it
worked great, thanks!
