It's covered briefly in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-mp3.html Personally, I'd say that ``dagrab'' has worked very well for me, for ripping the audio tracks into .WAV's. For encoding them to .MP3's I usually use GOGO (which is AFAIK the fastest encoder available for the i386 platform, yet still it produces good output). GOGO is based on LAME but with added optimizations; it's able to encode at ~30X speed on my Athlon 1400 MHz, IIRC. :-) I personally don't think that you will have a problem with the output quality of GOGO, but if you do, I guess you can check out LAME (although GOGO is supposed to be based on it).
