ABCDE VS dBpoweramp

I use "abcde" cli tool to flac: https://abcde.einval.com/wiki/. It uses cddb or musicbrainz, so little improvement there. Once you've tuned the config file to your preferences, automation makes the time investment per rip pretty low as far as attention and interruption. Cdparanoia setting can take forever to rip, but bit recovery is really good for hard-to-read disks. Source: about 2 years ago

I use abcde ("A Better CD Encoder") and then in Settings - Removable Storage - Device Actions I added an entry (for Property Match, Optical Disc, Available Content equals Audio) for a script that rips the CD to the right folder location (on my NAS) and then ejects the CD when done.

Still have CDs, and a CD drive on my desktop PC. On Linux there are some nice software like abcde https://abcde.einval.com/wiki/ that rip CDs easily. Source: about 2 years ago

I use dbPoweramp suite of software, it includes PerfectTunes which has the ability to do the album art as a large batch of files. I think you can pay for perfectTunes separately. Anyway, it’s almost automatic , just have to double check it got the correct album art before fixing the files. Source: about 1 year ago
