[LUG] "Grip" command-line equivalent?

[Jonathan Melhuish <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to backup my CDs using "Grip", which:

*  Looks up disc info on FreeDB
*  Inserts all disc information into a MySQL database
*  Rips the CDs to the hard disk in WAV format (using cdparanoia), 
setting the file names according to disc info
*  Encodes them into Ogg files (using oggencode), naming accordingly and 
adding metadata

I then used a little script I had written to turn all of the WAV files 
into FLAC files (which magically compresses them to about half their 
original size without losing any data).

Life was good.  I encoded about half my CD collection.  But then I made 
the brash decision to turn my desktop PC into a headless network server, 
so that I can leave it in the hallway and download and serve files 
24/7.  I haven't really found many drawbacks to this approach - apart 
from not being able to use Grip any longer :-(

Yes, I know I could run an X server on it and access it over the 
network, but it seems a rather overblown solution to a program that 
really only ties together several command-line programs anyway.

Does anybody know of a command-line tool that provides similar 
functionality?  Preferably one that can run in "batch mode" in the 
background?

Cheers,

Jon
