mp3burn is a simple command line tool for making audio CDs from mp3s without filling up your disk with .wav files. It requires perl, mpg123, and cdrecord.
update! Why not use a self made script? (see comments)
Because I keep forgetting the parameters to pass to cdrecord, and it’s easier to have someone else maintain a package than me. Plus there’s a few graphical frontends for mp3burn that could be handy for the family.. Might finally get my brother interested in using Linux as a desktop!
Look what I found today!

Wouldn’t a simple shell script that deletes the .wav files after
the CD has been burned do the trick just as well? Here’s a yoke
I use for copying CDs (er, for backup purposes only! No really,
that’s true!).
#!/bin/sh
#cd.copy: copy an audio cd from one drive to the other
# molly-coddle the user
echo “Please ensure that a blank CD is in the bottom tray”
echo “and the CD to copy is in the top tray.”
echo “Then, press Enter to continue.”
