If you make it with a user interface that you don't need a degree in computer science to work, I
think you'd get more downloads than you might imagine.
For Linux, it might be easy if there's a way to just script all this together:
1. check CD 1 for a CD. If CD, pull off the WAV files to a temporary folder
2. interface with freedb or Gracenote and get the album and song title info for MP3 tagging
3. convert WAVs to MP3 and write tag info
4. eject CD from drive, allow for insertion of new disc but follow queue down the line of drives.
5. check CD2 for a CD. If CD, go back to second part of step 1
6. etc for all other CD drives until an open drive is discovered, indicating the process is finished
due to lack of more CD's to rip.
Wrap all this with a good user interface that a normal person can make work and you're golden.
