Many programs rip audio as one file per track. I'm looking for a program or method that can rip the whole audio CD to a single file. Which program or method can do this in Ubuntu?

On OS X you might just use mdls or mdfind.

There's actually quite a few options
I'm personally a huge fan of cuetools, and one of the options it has is the cuetools console ripper - download the cuetools archive, unrar and just run CUETools.ConsoleRipper.exe. The command CUETools.ConsoleRipper.exe --help gives the options
Usage : CUERipper.exe <options>
-S, --secure secure mode, read each block twice (default);
-B, --burst burst (1 pass) mode;
-P, --paranoid maximum level of error correction;
-D, --drive <letter> use a specific CD drive, e.g. D: ;
-O, --offset <samples> use specific drive read offset;
-T, --test detect read command;
--d8 force D8h read command;
--be force BEh read command;
And it tags using musicbrainz, so its automatic and probably correct.
Another option I see mentioned is CDDA2Wav from cdrtools - this seems to be the place to get windows binaries for it. Not tested by me.
You might also be able to run your favourite linux cli ripper in cygwin.

At least a command-line application
abcde, found in the universe, can handle ripping the whole CD into one file.After installing, the basic usage would be (in Terminal):
The command should create a full-length file with a cue file. Instead of
wav, you can useogg, mp3, flac, spx, mpc, m4aif you have the codecs.
