Does burninate really on gapless information in the mp3 files or can it
work it out for itself? Pretty clever if the latter.

You can use the 'convert' functionality within foobar to create an album
image with cue sheet. You can then use exact audio copy (also free) to burn
that image as an audio CD. The resulting CD will be gapless IF the source
mp3s contained the required gapless metadata, which they will do if they
were encoded with a recent version of the LAME codec.
