Check out the description for lame in ports,             

	"mbueide@/usr/ports/audio/lame % cat pkg-descr 
	 LAME stands for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder.    "

Maybe this is the problem:). Personally, I like to use bladeenc
in a shell.  I can have several  open at one time encoding several 
of my cd's, albums, tapes all at once.  Nice quality too.

You will find bladeenc in /usr/ports/audio also.  As for ripping,
I use cdda2wav.  It's a little more complicated but not to bad once 
you get used to it.
