problems converting MP3s to WAVs

I've got a bunch of MP3s that I want to convert to WAVs so that I can make
audio CDs.  I'm running into an annoying problem where I either end up
with a WAV that doesn't match the criteria needed to create an audio CD
(cdrecord barfs with the error "Inappropriate audio coding") or the WAV is
encoded at 2x speed of the MP3 (and burns to the CD fine, but sounds like
the chipmunks).

The commands i've used are as follows:
mpg321 -r 44100 --stereo -w track01.wav track01.mp3
	^ this one gives me the WAVs that won't burn

mpg321 -b 10000 -s file.mp3 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - file.wav
	^ this one gives me the WAVs that are 2x fast

Anyone have any suggestions?
