ripping an audio cd on linux

Still in the after shock of losing my Windows system.  This time I need to rip an audio cd.  Well everything can be done on Linux.  No doubt about that.  And can be done in easier ways, and funner.  Just that you need to find it.  Yes, Google made it possible.  Also credits go there...

cdparanoia -wB -d/dev/cdrom

for i in *.wav; do lame -b 192 $i `basename $i .wav`.mp3; done
