How to bounce a project into separate, sequential, seamless tracks?

All the ones listed are great. I've used many of them and own some of them. And these guys won't steer you wrong. For what you want to do, just grab the one that "feels" the best to you and gets the job done. my humble 2c

Sounds like that would do the trick!

The way this is done in PT is to bus record each of your mixes into their own audio track. With 25 songs, you record them all at once into their own 25 audio tracks in one shot.

When you play/record it through once, you will now have 25 new audio files that each contain the final mix for the whole song.

Then I would hide/make inactive all the 300 original tracks leaving you with just the 25 finished tunes.

Then arrange them as you want sequentially and cross-fade etc. You can then bounce that 'master' file to one big 60 minute file.

From there if you want to, some authoring tools will let you put in CD tracks where the tunes change, otherwise you just have 1 long track on a CD.

But there is no need to bounce each of the 25 separately This will save you considerable time and is a key ProTools skill to know.

So, if I have the disk space, Pro Tools should have no problem bouncing a massive, 60-minute audio file—right?

Right.
