I know that Brasero will automatically convert mp3s to wav files, but I can't tell how many will fit.
Thus I need to convert those mp3s to wave files.
It sounds like either a bug in Brasero or mp3's with bad header info (wrong length). An audio CD has a fixed length and the number of tracks that you can burn isn't dependent on the original file format. Or maybe you were trying to burn a data CD with mp3's on it (you never made it clear which you were trying to use).
My attempts at writing mp3s to a CD have met with limited success.
Many of them do not play.
I get numbers like song 133, 134 etc.
That many will not fit on a CD.
How can I batch convert those mp3s to wav files ?

Sorry, to hear that. When I read your post the first time, it appeared to me you wanted to create a mp3 disc to play mp3 files on a cdplayer with mp3 playback capabilities.
I used the iso method to burn mp3 files on the disc and then play on my cd/mp3 walkman. The cd walkman also had an mp3 logo which meant it can play mp3 files on the disc. No conversion necessary. I can put as much as 450 mp3 files on a single disc.
I also used k3b. When I used k3b, you have to select New data project project to make a mp3 disc. Not audio cd project. If you select the new audio project, it will convert the mp3's to wav or cda files.
But, in your case, you needed to to convert your mp3 files to wav or cda files to be played on your player. I believe your cdplayer has no native mp3 playback capabilities. :/
You may want to check your mp3's with mp3val. It could also be that your player doesn't like a certain format of tags (for example, maybe it can't deal with ID3v2.4).
I am assuming that there is a program that can fix it ???
And what is this ?

Analyzing file "BillyEliIWontBeWaiting.mp3"...

Many of the songs were converted to mp3 by Audacity, if that helps provide any useful info.
I agree with seasons that it could be a format issue.
The MP3s in the first quote look good, second not so good.
Could be that your car player can not play MP3s using variable bit rate. It is if mp3val outputs Xing or VBR.
Could be file naming or format i.e. using joliet or rock ridge vs sticking with standard ISO9660
Could be bad MP3s like you posted in the second quote.
Could be the player can not handle higher bit rates.
Could be an ID tag problem.
mp3val does have a -f option to attempt a repair.
You will have to determine which MP3s work and check the mp3val output.

Owners manual are very sparse on details.
I will go with burning wav files knowing they will always play.
Even if it means 4 to 20 times the number of CDs I will need.
Some ideas:
1. Try --no-gapless option of mpg123
2. Try stripping the tag off before conversion to wav
3. Try it with ffmpeg
Personally, I think you're going about it all wrong though. First, you should figure out whether the results are repeatable. In other words, if you burn a CD with mp3's and some of them don't play, try burning it again. Do the same files not play? You should look at a few files that don't play when you burn them and a few that do. Look at them with mp3val and look at the tags/filenames to see if there's a difference. Or try the same thing with the files you're burning to wav. Is it always the same files that get cut off?
The bottom line is (as programmers say): Garbage In = Garbage Out
