Not sure if this is well known, but there is a relatively easy way to 
rip/encode your CDs with iTunes+oggenc:

- Install the QuickTime components (http://qtcomponents.sf.net)
- Rip CDs to AIFF format files
- Run a script that encodes each aiff file with oggenc. This script could 
use the file name and directory name to fill in some of the tags. (The tags 
won't show up in iTunes, though.)
- Make sure that the extension of the ogg files is .ogg.mov (to trick iTunes)
- The script should also run '/Developer/Tools/SetFile -c TVOD -t OggS' on 
each .ogg.mov file
- Finally, you'd run 'open -a /Applications/iTunes.app foo.ogg.mov' on each 
file to add it to the iTunes Library.
