Here is a script of mine.  I call it 
makecd.  Just copy it into a file and make it executable.  Then you just
give it a list of mp3's on the command line and it writes it.  The
script make some assumptions, but change it to change those assumptions
should be easy.

assumes:
1. You already can write regular data CDs.  This means that you have
SCSI cd-writer, or (more likely) you have SCSI emulation going.
2. Your CD-writer is on SCSI device 0.  This is almost certainly true if
you have SCSI emulation ('casue you have either an IDE or parallel-port
writer), and almost certain false if you have a true SCSI system.
3. Your CD-writer can write at 4x speed.  If it's recent and it's SCSI
and/or parallel, this is probably the case, though if you have a slow
CPU the mp3 decoding might not be able to keep up, and a slower speed
might be called for.  If you have a parallel-port writer, you probably
can't go past speed=1.

Here's the script, far smaller than the explanation:
----cut

#! /bin/csh -f

    mpg123 -s $fn | cdrecord dev=0,0 speed=4 -audio -pad -swab -nofix -
end

cdrecord dev=0,0 -fix -eject
