Yup. That's what it says on the box. But I'll trade that convenience
for no extraneous chat. Besides, when I'm playing the big file in VLC,
I can just hit the space bar to stop it, and it'll remember where I
am.

I'm not sure, I haven't read all the documentation. I don't think they
do -- cdparanoia does a wonderful job of ripping the CDs. And sox has
no trouble converting them to a flac then sticking them together into
a big file. Sox takes about a second per tiny wav file. And the output
is just fine. I doubt another program could do a better/faster job.
