Jonas,

Thanks for the suggestions. I can give you some positive news on one of your
suggested features.

There is a gnome-vfs cdda module and experimental support for mounting audio
cds in Nautilus.  The feature is disabled right now as we try to archive our
1.0 shipping goal and are focussing on stability and performance issues.  If
you have some hacking skills, it is easy enough to turn these feature on
and rebuild Nautilus.

We use CDDB to name the files and you can drag them from the CD to any other
mounted volume.  Adding the conversion while copying feature is next on my
list of things to do to the cdda module.
