I like grip. not sure about abcde nut in grip you can set the wav filter, I guess that's what you want. but even if it's not you can simply set-up the ripper to be a shell script that does rip+normalize instead of just rip. I guess you can do something similar in abcde... definitely don't go wav->mp3->wav->mp3 (there's no reason and you're loosing quality) erik
