Seems overly complicated (but, hey, if it works, great).

This works, too.

        lame --decode track1.mp3 track1.wav

Do that for every track you want to burn to a CD. You'll end up with a .wav
file for each track. Then (assuming you're using an ATAPI CD-RW), burn the
CD like this:

        burncd -s <speed> -f /dev/acd0c audio *.wav fixate

I've used this approach several times to create "normal" CDs from MP3s.

"lame" is in the ports collection: /usr/ports/audio/lame
