Is there any way to convert nsf files to mp3 or wav format so they can be burned to an audio cd? Any help or faqs out there anyone can direct me to?
thanks much

One sure way to do it is using winamp, go to the plugin options and for output select 'disk writer'. Then instead of playing to the speakers it'll save to .wav files. Then you'll probably want to edit those for timing, fading or whatever.
Works really good with VirtuaNSF. Select the NSF file you want and go to Wave Output. There you can choose what track on the NSF you want to convert and how many seconds you want it to be. Then it's converted into a nice .wav file.
Hmm, I use Creative [like Creative, the company] Recorder. After I record it (in a massive 400+kbps wav), I convert it into a mp3 with Creative Wave Studio. It works fine for me, but it came with my computer (HP Media Center... '03 I think).
I think I have some help on my website, too: http://www.freewebs.com/pancakeknight76

Odd enough, you can use WinAmp + NSF plugin to play it, then JetAudio to record the output. Works nicely. However, I like my emulator output. ^_^;;..
Is there a mac alternative to win amp for this very purpose?
Is there a version of FCE Ultra for mac? I know it can play NSF files, and I believe it has a .wav recorder (I'm not certain). Or perhaps another emulator.
Not FCE Ultra IIRC, but Nestopia does have a Mac version.

I ought to do that.
I've been using gnsf (and then audacity for fades/better timing), but at times I tried just playing through winamp and recording that sound in audacity, for the tracks that I didn't like in gnsf, but it for some reason was picking up the square waves very quietly.
Quite a number of emulators have a wave-record function, so it's largely a matter of finding one that runs on a Mac.
Game Music Box for Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 will record NSF tracks to wave sound files. You can drop a bunch on the utility window and quickly batch convert them.
You can find some NSF soundtracks converted for you already here: www.orchNEStra.com
Download an audio editing program such as Sonic Foundary Vegas, Cubase, Cool Edit Pro, or ANYTHING, and record the wav file directly to the audio program. You have to sit and listen to it as it records, but at least then you know when to cut it off, and you can add a fade to it right away.
Another option is to edit your own NSFe files so that they all end at the proper time, and have proper fade outs. Then select the option where each song is listed individualy in winamp, then select the disk write option. It should save them all to perfectly timed wavs.
Both of these optons take a little time to do however
, But it's worth it to listen to NES music in your car.
