I personally use grip -- like the other, it does the CD DB lookup for
you.  I also use Debian, so I know it is in the repos.

Personally, I liked grip because of the small visual footprint. the UI
is very narrow, and very easy to "get out of the way" while I was doing
the same.  (I had a 500+ cd collection that I put onto HD a few years
back)
