i've ripped large (300+MB) flac files that contain an entire album with pointers/indexes to particular tracks within the album. when you load them into a player[1] it shows up as multiple titles in your collection, not just one.
the advantage over ripping to one track/file is that it doesn't introduce pauses between tracks....you can play the whole file just like a CD.
This is exactly how I would proceed when transferring from CD.
presumably, it's possible to create flac files with arbitrary index points if the individual movements of your CD don't correspond to tracks but i've never bothered finding out how to rip to a flac file manually.
The individual movements usually do correspond to tracks, but the problem is that there is a need for at least one level of hierarchy between the entire work and the tracks/movements.
