  Thanks.  I've now switched from cdparanoia to cdda2wav, like so...

cdda2wav -vall dev=1,0,0 cddb=0 -paranoia -B

  I get separate tracks and info files, e.g. audio_01.inf, audio_01.wav.
audio_02.inf, audio_02.wav, etc.  I can pull the tune and artist from
the Tracktitle= entry in the corresponding .inf file, and write a bash
script to cycle through the directory, and use flac's -o option to give
the flac file the correct name.  I have an issue with /etc/sudoers, but
that's a totally different thread.
