I guess I was getting more at the point of booting up your system from the CDROM (then toram if you only have one drive) or a USB drive and being presented with a system setup that can efficiently copy a music CD. K3B is as easy to use as Nero/Easy CD, but the user is in a Linux environment, which can only help efforts to get around DRM schemes.
I would agree that rebooting just to rip would be asking a bit much, but the original post was giving a name to the 'image' argent mentioned. Also, SLAX is not the only such option, just the one I have been playing with most recently.
"I wonder how long before someone makes up a "copy your CDs" image that can be loaded to a USB dongle, and boots into a copy of Linux with a pre-configured ripper."

SLAX on USB
Not the only such option, just the one I have been playing with most recently.
Complete OS and data files.
'toram' option is real nice
very modular / easy to extend
this really is nothing 'new' aside from the big name backing
suggests that moving from portable hard drives to USB memory sticks is the expected next logical step
exactly - not 'new' but they are getting the word out
