Many!

Others have mentioned rippers and tools for managing this as part of the 
ripping process (abcde, etc)

I'd like to recommend "picard" as a tool just for cleaning up metadata. 
It interfaces with the MusicBrainz public database, which is probably 
the best data source for CD metadata now. "picard" is very useful for 
cleaning up files post-rip.
