CD Ripping Without Temporary Files

I would like to be able to rip a CD through the command line (using **cdparanoia** and **lame**, preferably) *without having to use temporary files*. I'm thinking that this would save some time with the encoding process, but if this isn't the case, please let me know. So far, I've tried cdparanoia 1 - | lame -f --silent - track.mp3, and it worked well on that first track. However, I can't figure out how I can pipe all of the tracks from the CD in this way without doing some slightly messy parsing of the CD track table. Is this kind of thing feasable in a one-liner, or will I have to grab the number of tracks and iterate? EDIT: I'd appreciate input on whether or not ripping the full CD in this way and splitting tracks post-encoding would be any better or more feasable.
