Abcde is a frontend program to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite mp3 encoder (defaults to lame). Grabs an entire CD and converts each track to MP3, then ID3-tags each file, with one command.
Cdctl is a program similar to eject which can eject your CD-ROM/DVD drive. Cdctl provides a user interface to the 2.2 kernel's uniform cdrom driver's ioctl calls, and most 2.0 cdrom drivers (ide-cd and scsi).
cdrecord-filters is a patch for cdrecord to make it able to accept user-created modules that can create tracks for cdrecord on-the-fly. One module that allows you to read mp3s and write them as audio tracks is provided in the package.
