I have the following in my perl ripping script:

    my $cmd =
        "dd if=${device}t${nn_track} bs=2352 ".
        "| lame -r -x      -b $opt_bitrate -h -m j -q1 - ".
        "> ${disk}_${nn_track}.mp3";

Or for a .wav file:

    my $cmd =
        "dd if=${device}t${nn_track} bs=2352 ".
        "| sox -t raw -r44100 -sw -c2 - -t wav -".
        "> ${disk}_${nn_track}.wav";

Or just the raw stuff:

    my $cmd =
        "dd if=${device}t${nn_track} bs=2352 ".
        "> ${disk}_${nn_track}.raw";
