With a distributed system, you would probably want to let each node have its
own file.  If you want to tinker, there is a system to do this using abcde and
distmp3 (both locatable on Freshmeat).  abcde will rip the tracks from CD and
send them through the network (lots of bandwidth!) to one of several nodes
running the distmp3 server, which sends back the compressed file when it
is done.  It probably wouldn't be too hard to adjust this system to produce
Ogg files instead.
