Most people do it an easier way - they export the files from PT and then insert the CD track markers (and even do crossfades if you want to) in a program like Jam or Peak or Waveburner. Those programs will automatically find the zero crossing and make perfect ID markers anywhere in a file.

I don't think the zero crossing realy matters, since one cd-player won't go exactly to the same spot as an other brand's cd-player.. Lots of player got smore then 100 ms of random in thier star-points..
For Brain S: Yeah those good old days with Sounddesigner.. It was much simpler those days to index tracks He're how progress wants you to index tracks under OS-X these days..
Try it this way ( I hope you've got still a copy of Jam somewhere, since this thing won't work with toast only)..
1- Prepare your mix in a protools 24bits session entirely with all crossfades, plugins, the whole lot, all maixed to a stereo master fader.
2- put as last plug-in on this master fader the Powr dither plugin to 16 bits, (setting 3 is nice!!)
3- Select your whole mix from the beginning to the end , and adding +/- 400 ms of silence at the start and end of your mix,
4 - bounce your whole mix to disk in 16 bits resolution, using the 44K split stereo (=multiple mono) SDII file format (this becomes the bounced file).
5- when finished, close your session and create a new 16 bits session using SDIi as fileformat, and create 1 stereo track (or two mono tracks), and imlport your freshly bounced 16 bit split-stereo files.
6- put your curser where the start-point of the second track of your mix has to begin, and press Apple-E. do the same with track 3 and on.. (!! NOTE: you'll have name these regions you create so you'll recognize them in Jam later-on).
7- when finished cutting up your mix, go to the AUDIO menu (on your right), select 'select unused regions', and then select 'Clear selected', then just select REMOVE (!! don't select 'DELETE' !!).
8- then in AUDIO again select 'Select All', and then you select "Export region defenitions' , and press OK.
9- quit Protools and launch Jam (this works also under Sys-9). Drop the 'previously bounced' and now 'defined' files into the Jam window, whilst holding the Apple key pressed, and select all the regions you wish to burn. Make shure you've set the prefs of Jam to 0 seconds gap by default.
10 - Save an Image file to hard-disk if you use Jam 5.01 under OS-X, and then burn this image file with Toast to CD,
or you can burn directly a CD if U use Jam 2.6.2 under sys-9.
SIGH Progress...
Hope this makes sence,
