I use gcombust for this, you just drag your wav files into it and hit 'burn'.
For converting mp3 to wav, here is some little script. (it's an early one so
don't judge me by it - it's patchwork from others scripts, but it did it for
me)
You need mpg123 and sox installed (which I guess is pretty much standard).
Put it into a text file and make it executable with 'chmod u+x mp32wav' and
move it into /usr/bin or something in your PATH.
If you start the script with "mp32wav *.mp3" in a folder with mp3s or from the
Nautilus script folder) it creates a subfolder "wav" and converts all mp3
into wav files with the same name exept '.mp3' becomes '.wav'
b.
---------------
#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav
mp3file="$*"
mkdir wav
for file in "$@" ; do
#echo "$file"
wavfile=`echo "$file" | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/`
printf "%-50s %-50s\n" "$file" "--> $wavfile"
# to encode wav-->mp3
#lame -h "$file" "$mp3file"
# to encode mp3-->wav
mpg123 -b 10000 -s "$file" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - "wav/$wavfile"
done
