In KDE, you should be able to use the audiocd plugin. If you have
Konqueror, type "audiocd:/" as the URL, and it'll open the CD,
and allow you to browse the oggs, WAVs, MP3s etc. Just drag the
ones you want to your harddrive, and it automatically encodes them.
If you use Ogg Vorbis format, you may need to tweak the default
compression quality, since it defaults to 3, which is too low.
(I would dig out how to do it, but I need to rush off).
I then use Amarok (another KDE application) to listen to them.
