Linux Jukebox

For a while I've been throwing around the idea of having a computer play
mp3's through different speakers placed throughout my house. With the
recent couple of topics mentioning a Jukebox I've decided to turn an old PC
of mine into a Jukebox.
I'm planning to run mpg123 to play the MP3's and control it through a web
front end (so I can use computers in any room to control the music
playback). In order to rip CD's, I've created a script that will perform
different tasks:
1) Rip the Songs
2) Retrieve CDDB Info
3) Update the IDv3 tag in the MP3 with info from the CDDB.
4) Save them and update a MySQL table with the info.
My question is this. I would like to be able to simply insert a CD into
the CD-ROM and have this process start automatically. I have not had to
deal with this type of automation in Linux before and was wondering if it
was even possible... Is there a way to start a process based off a CD
being inserted? Thoughts?
Thanks!
Scott
