Multi-drive Ripping / Burning Support?

jasonisnuts writes "I currently have a DVD-ROM (internal), a CD-RW (FW), and a DVD-RW (FW), and I also have a massive assortment of music CDs that I want to rip and catalog. Are there any free, shareware, or commercial utilities for Mac OS X that support ripping CDs from multiple devices at the same time and offer full CDDB/GraceNote support? And does this same utility or another offer burning to multiple sources in multiple formats? This will all be done on a Sawtooth 500MHz (upgrading soon)."

This won't be useful for the original question since it isn't Mac OS X, but it is worth mentioning because its the best, simplest, cheapest (free!) solution for doing ripping on windows, and it works with multiple drives (just fire up a new instance). It supports FreeDB/CDDB, a ton of encoding formats (WAV, MP3, OGG, VQF, APE)... makes playlist files, and it works as an audio format converter in addtion to ripping from CD (I do WAV->MP3 with it all the time).

In a world where anything media-oriented has to be "skinned" it looks refreshingly like an actual windows app and not the usual regurgitated fruit salad that everyone seems to want to shove down my throat and call a GUI. :) WHY, Mozilla, WHY?

It doesn't perform the burning, but I personally prefer using a separate program for that anyway... Nero does the job for me and it came free with my burner.
