I'm using mpeg_musicin and musicout, part of the mpegaudio utilities
in ports.  To grab the tracks, I use Charles Heinrich's cdd utility
which you can find on various FTP sites (and I have a copy up at
time.cdrom.com in my anon ftp area, but please get that only as a last
resort since that's my home machine and I don't have a T1 :-).

It works great - I'm able to grab, encode and subsequently play
back mpeg audio with no problems.
