Well, I can recommend rubyripper. It worked well last time I tried it
(a few months ago) and afaik it's the best application we have on

Can't help with that part, haven't used either in quite some time but
afair soundkonverter used to work quite well. If you do rip and convert
later make sure to rip to wav, don't convert from vorbis to mp3.
