No need to justify.
Here's an inspiration for what you could put into a script - a
simple converter for audio CD to OGG/Vorbis:
dd bs=2352 if=/dev/acd0t01 | oggenc -q 6 -r -o track01.ogg
Of course, if you want to add information (like album, interpret
etc.), you can use those additional options, explained in the
manual ("man oggenc").
You can use "cdcontrol info" to find out how many tracks to
process, and then iterate automatically to put all tracks into
one directory, in ogg format. No big deal.
Of course, it's helpful when you maintain a good directory and
file naming convention for your files, rather than "track01.ogg"
and so on. It makes finding a specific peace of music more easy
if file names correspond to what you hear when you play it. :-)

Why not first try the obvious solution?
# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play
You can define CDROM (or CDPLAYER?) environmental variable to
omit the -f <device> parameter.

The system brings cdcontrol. For X, why not use XMMS, or if you
want a simple solution that just works, try xcd.
