    It does require X but you don't have to run Gnome. You can use any lightweight
    window manager. There is no rule that you can't run a WM if it's a server.

    But OTOH, the concept of grip is pretty simple (if you don't want to be fancy
    like ripping only on partial track or start at certain sector) that you can
    write yourself a script to run cdparanoia (and lame) and then eject the cd
    when done. I am not sure about detecting a CD insert and run the script
    automatically, but should be doable.
    freedb has its protocol published if you want to query their database. I think
    there are also some sample programs on how to compute your CD id and query
    the database for it's info.

    So if you insist on using text only, there is always a possibility of writing
    your own script to do this.
    Of course, If I were you, considering the works to be done, I would rather run
    X and be done with it. There's nothing wrong with that.
