Recently I decided to burn selected MP3 files on an audio CD from command prompt.
First, you need to convert your mp3 (myfile.mp3) into .wav (myfile.wav) file:
$ mpg123 -w myfile.wav myfile.mp3
Use above command to convert all files to mp3
Then burn all .wav file on to the CD
# cdrecord -dev=ATA:1,0,0 -eject speed=4 -pad -audio *.wav

You can use lame to encode the WAVs to MP3s. Once wav file created using cdparanoia you can use lame to encode the file wav to an MP3:
lame myfile.wav myfile.mp3
lame also supports bitrate option for example to use 256 kilobytes bitrate you can use:
lame -b 256 myfile.wav myfile.mp3
Read man page of lame for all supported options.
to convert all mp3 files at once, do:
for i in *.mp3; do mpg123 -v -w "${i%mp3}wav" "$i"; donenice
To convert all mp3 files, accounting for spaces in names and correcting the “filename.mp3.wav” naming, try:
You did not set back IFS:
add last command :
IFS=$’ nt’
