add these to you .bashrc:

function mp3dec() { for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav;
done; }

function mp3ren() { for i in *.mp3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`;done; }

(both are all one line)

now run 'bash'.

Now, in the dir with the MP3's, run 'mp3ren', then 'mp3dec'. Wait a while. When
that's finished, move or delete the MP3's and run 'normalize -m *'. Once that's
done, fire up GCombust, add the audio files to the layout, order them the way
you want, and burn.

You could use the command line like this:

cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=12 dev=0,0,0 -pad -audio *.wav

...but then you don't get to put the songs in your desired order, AFAIK.

There are some really nice ROX apps in development which will allow you to do
these things as well, all drag and drop. They do the decoding to WAV and then
automagically burn an audio CD just by dragging a dir full of MP3's to the
app icon. ROX filer is a much nicer experience than Nautilus, if you are
interested, lemme know.
