Subject:   ripping CDs, encoding into MP3s, and labeling later

Howdy list,

I currently use grip ( http://nostatic.org/grip/ ) to
quickly and conveniently rip CDs, encode the tracks into
MP3s, and label the MP3s - all with the SINGLE click of
a button.


background:
===========
grip is VERY convenient. However, the following scenario
with my laptop is causing problems:

1.) Go home or over to a friend's, where I don't have internet access.
2.) Decide that I want to rip+encode a CD of mine, or a CD for a friend, respectively.

Now, I can still rip+encode the CD, but I don't have access
to the freedb CD information database, so the MP3s end up being
labeled Track1 Track2, etc...


So here are my questions:
=========================
1.) Is there any way to automate the mp3 track labeling process
    after the fact?
2.) AFAIK, grip doesn't allow me to rip a CD to my hard disk, then
    easily label and encode the CD at a later time (when I have access
    to the internet and freedb). Is there a program that WILL do this?
3.) How do you usually handle this situation?

Thanks!
