Grip does provide a gui for cdparanoia + lame. Lame cannot be distributed by debian. Get the debs from http://marillat.free.fr/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/ I avoided mentioning grip because the question was to have a light system. Using cdparanoia and lame is trivial. Lame is _supposed_ to be a better encoder than blade. I was using blade earlier, switched over to lame. It is much faster.
