Rip mp3s from image file?

I have a collection of audiobooks on CD. I've found these are great for my mp3 player during my walk to work, so I've been ripping the CD's to mp3.

This works fine, but the problem is the time it takes to shuffle CD's and rip them to mp3. A novel is typically about 12 CD's, and each one takes 15 or 20 minutes to rip. I'm too impatient to babysit this process, so typically I come back sometime after one CD finishes and pop in the next. Ripping a whole novel to mp3 takes *days* this way.

Alternatively, I've found burning a CD to an image file only takes a few minutes (e.g. a .img file using CloneCD). I'd like to sit down and burn these 12 CD's to image files in one quick CD-shuffling session. Then, at my leisure, I'd like to rip these image files to mp3.

Is there software that can do this? Bonus points if it's freeware. HUGE bonus points if the image-to-mp3 conversion has a command line interface, or some means of scripting the jobs.

That's what I *think* I want to do, anyway. :-) I'm open to other suggestions. Mainly, I want to get the CD-shuffling part of the process over with as quickly as possible. Thanks for any ideas and suggestions!

because i don't use mp3 anymore i rip them into wave and convert them later.

your method is slow cause it encodes them and not directly writing them.

you want command line converter ?

"besweet" is for you then
