With MM gold, you can configure it to monitor specific folders for changes, this will automatically add or update any files within the monitored folders as long as MM is running. tools > options > library > file monitor
as far as ripping, you should be able to click the rip icon or choose from the tools menu, the rip dialog appears, specify the path and file masks to where you want the files stored (I use J:\Music\Ripped\<album artist>\<year> - <album>\<track#> - <artist> - <title>) and configure the file type and settings you want (flac for lossless or perhaps mp3 vbr v2 for mp3).
all tracks should rip in one go, if for some reason it is not then perhaps there is problem with cd-rom or player or something.
FreeDB is only used for CD, you can't apply freedb info to already ripped tracks. If the tracks do not appear on the cd list, you may need to refresh the freedb request.. tools > get album info from freedb
If the info does not appear, then perhaps freedb is down and/or inaccessible, or the cd is not in the freedb in which case you will have to manually enter the info in the track list, or possibly use the amazon look up to populate it. Or alternatively, just rip it an then use the musicbrainz tagger to fix the metadata (see link in my sig).
I am not sure why you think you need a playlist for every album, you could simply use the 'album' node or the 'artist & album artist' node to expand out and display the applicable artist/album.
You can configure MM to automatically add newly added tracks to a playlist, however it does not necessarily add them in the manner when I think you want. tools > options > library > tags & playlists > create playlists of tracks newly added, and you can find the playlists under the playlists node > recently added tracks.
hope that helps.
