Can anyone recommend a native Linux FLAC ripper which auto tags music with basic info like band and song name?
Maybe something which resembles EAC since I've used EAC under Wine in the past which used a Free CD metadata library, but I'm not sure if the library is available any more?

Although I no longer have it installed on my systems I always found that the KDE program k3b was very capable.

And if you don't use KDE (and why would you?) and don't want to install all the dependencies that K3B needs, try Asunder - it just needs GTK.

Yes, that's why I no longer have k3b installed, I am an XFCE enthusiast. However, in the past, even though I have always been an XFCE user, I have installed k3b because it was much better and more capable than the XFCE default xfburn. Nowadays CDs and DVDs are much less ubiquitous than they used to be and I no lenger feel the need for k3b.

I use a 2 stage process 1) Sound Juicer, because it was a/the default ripping app once upon a time. You can set the preferences to mp3, ogg, flac.
2) Musicbrains Picard. This puts all the tags in for you, and album art, assuming it can identify it. If it can't, you can do it all manually. It'll also handle moving the files from one place into a tree structure of you choice, eg. "?/Artist/Album"
