Kaudiocreator would do what you want. It has a setting that will automatically 
rip all tracks upon successful CDDB lookup. That might seem like a hitch, but 
you probably don't want to rip tracks if you won't be able to identify the 
tracks later. When it is finished ripping, you can set it to automatically 
eject. It did have some problems recently where it would slow down to a crawl 
under normal operation. But I think that problem has been fixed. I filed a 
bug report and got updates.
