the easiest way to do this is simply use cdrecord(1)--it's what 95% of the
front-ends (like xcdroast, which last time i checked (er, wow, it's been
awhile--i think that was the first gui on the linux scene for burning > 4
years ago!) doesn't actually know how to burn a cd anyhow) do under the
hood.
cdrecord song1.wav song2.wav ...
this will leave the standard 2-second gap between tracks, as most
track-at-once burning programs seem to do. when i need to burn something
and control the gaps, i use cdrdao(1). it's more complex tho--see the
man page.
as someone has already pointed out, there are gui's out there other than
xcdroast, check out http://www.freshmeat.net and look for burning software
if you have a few hours and a decent net connection =)
peace.
