I use

XMMS (www.xmms.org) for MP3 -> Wav 
and not-LAME (optimized binary of LAME, see freshmeat.net) for wav-mp3

l3enc/l3dec work good too although they are shareware and have some bugs,
bladeenc encodes well but is slow (and more importantly) encodes much
lower quality then not-LAME (i encode all my stuff to 96kbps for my rio)

there are also automated CD->WAV->MP3 rippers available look into RipperX
and Kgraber are the 2 im aware of.
