Thanks, Todd, but this configuration doesn't work for me.  The rip happens, but
in spite of what the Status window tells me, the encoding never gets written to
disk.  If I turn ID3v2 tags on, it produces files with the name of the encode
file format which are nothing but id3v2 tags - 2048 bytes all.  If I turn id3v2
tags off, it produces no .mp3 files at all.

Guess it's time to rtmfm.  They sure don't make this easy.  Does anyone have a
known good lame command line for grip?
