Hi!
I'm a DJ and i still do it very often.
I use Adobe Audition (Audacity will do too). I remove clicks and pops.
Then i save my master in FLAC format using the FLAC plugin. I dunno
about FLAC and Audacity but at least, you could save uncompressed and
use the FLAC codec afterwards. It's always a good idea to save your
master in FLAC (Lossless compression) so you can re-edit your files
afterwards without starting from a lossy compressed file (MP3 is lossy,
it degrades every time you save).
After that, i generate the MP3 with LAME, piping FLAC decoder into the
LAME MP3 codec.
I use MP3 VBR, quality level 1.
LAME is one of the best MP3 Compressor and is free (same for FLAC).
As for the ID3 tags, i standardized with ID3 v2 and i don't use v1
inside the same file (using to hearders inside the same MP3 is source of
problem from time to time). There are a couple of good masstaggers so
your could use that to save time.
Finally, i use MP3Gain to adjust the gain of all my files to 90 db.
Hope this helped.

If I am not mistaken Audacity uses use the Lame encoder to do mp3. At
some point, not sure weather it was in windoze or Linux, I had to
install the codec myself.
And very true always have a master in a Lossless compression format.
That is very important.
