$799? Outrageous.

Robin, here's what I do. I use xmms with the dikwriter plugin and
cdrecord. 

open up xmms, select the tracks to burn. This is pretty simple if they
are all in one convenient place. Otherwise you can use gcombust and do
drag & drop from a file management tool like konqueror.

Make a subdirectory to hold the wavs - usually I put them under /tmp.
Next open up the Visualization window, select Audio I/O plugins, select
Diskwriter. This opens up a subwindow, enter in the directory you
created. After you've added all the files, press play, and in a few
minutes (here's where diskwriter shines, it's fast) you'll have a number
of wav's in that directory.

Next open up a command line and

$ cdrecord -dev=ATA:1,0,0 -v -eject -speed 12 -audio pad < list of
files>

Most of the time, after entering that I just type the first few letters
of each track, and hit tab. I have to do that repeatedly for each track,
but what the hell, it works :). Otherwise, you can use gcombust, or any
other cd writing tool. But from the tenor of your email it would seem
you're stuck on the mp3->wav conversion.
