Check out CDex, fella. There's some more info about it posted in a reply I did in a thread here. It's also available to download at the link snow patrol provided above.

CDDAE to rip (and check quality) to .wav, then encode with lame.

Razorlame does the whole thing. The only reason i don't use razor lame to rip is because it's way slower than cddae (compare ~8x razorlame to ~22x+ on cddae). plus i don't think there is much of a loss when ripping to wav. converting to mp3s is when the sh!t hits the fan.

please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.
