Hi Bill,
Could you please provide a little bit more information like:
-What operating system (Ubuntu 10.04, Fedora 12, etc..)?
-I assume you can hear music since you are composing? If so.. 
What sound source and programs are you using, soundfonts, external midi, hexter
soft synth, etc?  How are they connected?

Sounds like maybe you need to manually connect input and output ports in the
audio tab of qjackctl.

It can be daunting at first.  Maybe the simple answer is... No there is no
simple "export to mp3" button.
