Okay, I've installed abcde and it seems to do pretty much what I'm 
after.  There are a few little things, I'd like to change, though:

*  WAV files are put in a temporary directory named by the DiscID, 
rather than artist/album
*  I'd like it to spawn oggenc in the background using nohup so that it 
can continue running when I log out
*  I'd like it to run my FLAC-ifier script after it's finished encoding

Fortunately it's just a big BASH script, so hopefully I'll be able to 
hack it to do what I want.  Ahh, I love Open Source :-)

Cheers for the pointer.

Jon
