There are for example mp3c, grip, ripperx and probably also some other programs that can do this job. There is no metadata for the songtitles on the CD but AFAIK every CD has an unique ID. The CD ripper programs are searching online for this ID in the so called cddb (CD DataBase) and if someone has insert the songtitles of the according CD to this database before, the ripped CD tracks are automatically renamed to the respective title. If nobody has added your CDs to the database, you can do this by yourself with the ripper software which can also transfer these information to the cddb.
