I'm not 100% certain how you're doing the recording, but if you
want to create a CD I wouldn't bother with the MP3 encoding
part of this (at least, not until _after_ the burning) -
Record to .wav format, there will be no loss of quality then.
name the tracks appropriately (ie track_01.wav).
You may wish to edit them slightly too to remove any long gaps
between tracks.
you can use a graphical app if you wish to burn the CD but
cdrecord -v dev=x,x,x -audio -pad directory/*.wav
will do this for you. Obviously you need to use the correct device
instead of x,x,x (cdrecord -scanbus will tell you this).
