How do I convert a long list of .cda files on CD's to MP3 easily?

I have numerous Cd's that each contain a very long list of .cda files which I would like to convert to MP3 in either one file if possible or a list of of mp3 equivalent to the list of .cda files. I know how to do them one by one, but because there is so many .cda files and I have a few Cd's to get through, is there a simpler way than
Media>Convert etc one .cda file (track) at a time?

VLC version 2.2.1
Thanks in advance.

See this tutorial

It's advisable to update to the latest version which addresses security vulnerabilities in the version you're using now. You can download the latest version which is 3.0.4 from here

The link you provided is one-track-at-a-time method (long way),I know how to do this already. I was looking for a quicker method, say 100 .cda files in one go (or similar), not single track-by-track conversion process.

There's not much info about what the Extension does on that link.
Your certain it can do long list of .cda files quicker than one-track-at-a-time conversion? You tried it in past yourself for similar situation?
