if there was some way I could get MusicMatch to use LAME

As Daniel (redbutt2) said, it ain't gonna happen. I think Fraunhofer would kill us.

I want to find a way that I can rip to WAV say...10 cd's and then have it later encode those to mp3's and have all the tag info correct. That way, I can quickly rip to WAV and set a bunch to encode over night.

Check out the latest version of EAC. There's a setting which allows you to specify an external encoder. Then, there's another setting which allows you to say how many encoding sessions to run in parallel.

So, I have it set to 1 background encoder. This way you can continue to rip your CDs while it's encoding in the background. Or, you could just rip to WAV and then start up an encoding session when you're all done. I'm pretty sure EAC stores the ID3 info somewhere with the WAV.
