I also use Sound Juicer all the time to rip to FLAC. Click If you want to  
add more tags, I would recommend EasyTag for that.

sudo apt-get install easytag

When you convert your FLACs later to Ogg your tags will remain in the  
copies, at least when using Sound Converter. I think it's installed by  
default. If not:

sudo apt-get install soundconverter

Works for me, at least.

Just make sure that tags are added at earliest possible stage and as  
automatically as possible. Will save you quite some time in the future.

I don't know if CD Text are automatically converted to tags with Sound  
Juicer, but I think so… Or maybe it always looks online.
