Do you want to burn them as .mp3, so that any application like xmms or
winamp can play them? Then its simply mkisofs/cdrecord, as you already
know. When you want to listen to them in an ordinary CD-Player, well,
you need to convert the mp3 to .wav format first, then burn an audio CD.

I use xmms to write mp3 ->wav , simply hit the button on top left, then
choose options, audio i/o-plugins, theres a disk writer plugin similar
to that in winamp.

then: cdrecord -dao -pad ~/BURN/*wav

or similar...

But: be aware that 1 MB of mp3 roughly equaly 10 MB of .wav
