What resolution are you at?

Ctrl-D to double size of xmms

Then, change theme to whatever looks usable by you.

Yup. 650MB for 1 CD is a bit too much.

Try reading the CD-burning-HOWTO

What I use to do:

rip the songs, get the Wav files, order them, naming them 1.wav, 2.wav.... 
Burn them with cdrecord with the option "create an audio-cd" (cdrecord --help)
