No need for ingenuity. EAC will do this for you.

If you rip a whole stack of CDs EAC will queue them up and start encoding one by one (or two by two if you have dual CPUs like me). If you then simply quit the main EAC application (not the 1 or 2 encoding windows - let them finish), it will remember where it was up to and all the tags it had to use.

If you simply run EAC when you are ready to encode, it will start encoding from the next track automagically.

All ID3 tags are filled in as if you hadn't quit EAC. On normal single artist albums (i.e. not various artist ones) I don't even need to fix up tags with EAC.

BTW: I use command line LAME encoding (i.e. not the inbuilt .DLL) so I don't know whether this works with the .DLL encoding method.
