Cripple is a simple command line CD ripper wrapper. It uses audio/cdparanoia, misc/libcdio or sysutils/cdrtools to rip, and audio/lame or audio/bladeenc to encode tracks from a CD. Cripple retrieves naming information for filenames and ID3 tags from the freedb (CDDB) or local xmcd/CDDB format files, which it can write. CDDB access is implemented via HTTP and works through proxies. There is built-in support for writing ID3v1.1 tags to output files.
