Yeah... This is ridiculous. Every distro comes with a CD ripping program. I guess this page would be useful if you wanted to do every step in the ripping and conversion processes yourself, but there's no reason you should want to.

if I want to rip from the cd straight to mp3s by console I do:for i in 01 02 05 06 08 10; do cdparanoia $i - | lame -h -v -b 32 -B 320 - $i.mp3; doneThus you don't make temporary files... just your mp3s and that's it.

Beside the the stuff allready mentioned, why even convert to ogg from wav, then back to wav and to mp3, unless you really, really wan't bad quality and have too many CPU-cycles?FFS. if you want to do it the hard way, at least encode both files from the wave-file, and then delete it. The other way around is just plain stupid!

Ogg is without a doubt the best audio format. I wouldn't be suprised if more and more audio player manufactures begin to support it....
