Needs python-1.5.2 (or later) 

IIRC, it will use the ripper and encoder you specify.  My setup uses
cdparanoia for ripping, bladeenc for encoding and something else for the
cddb stuff (talks to freedb by default, will rip and encode off-line and
lookup later or will do the lookup for 20 CDs first and once the data is
downloaded, will happily rip and encode off-line also.

B at TW, I have a little script which will index all MP3s in a directory tree
in a form suitable for xmms.
