Here's the little script I use.
I call it "cd2mp3" - the name says it all.

# Rip MP3s from a CD - version 2023-04-21
cdparanoia -B
#cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -x -B -O wav
#icedax -D /dev/sr0 -x -B -O wav
for t in *.wav; do lame $t; done

As you may have noticed, I experimented with a couple of
other programs (cdda2wav and icedax), but finally returned
to good old cdparanoia.  It works well, and tries really
hard if it's dealing with a damaged CD.
