I just did some tests with CD-RW, and you are correct - however any 
adjustments made to an individual track (such as start/end times and 
volume adjustment) are reflected on the final CD, which is what led me 
to believe that crossfades, eq adjustment, etc, would be burned. I 
stand corrected.

I played around with iTunes and found a much better way of copying the 
CDs largely due to the discovery that 'kind' is one of the fields that 
the library can be sorted on (had never noticed it before in the 
display column menu).

If the quality of the CDs iTunes produces is enough to not piss off 
other traders, then I'll probably continue to use it, much happier than 
before. Again, my only real complaint with iTunes was that i had an mp3 
and an aiff file of the same track in my library that would get played 
back-to-back and that I'd have to select the right files (aiffs always 
came first... or second... I can't remember now) to drag to the 
playlist, which seemed needlessly complicated. I miss useful manuals 
with Apple products; there's also a lack of information on the 'net 
about duplicating CDs.

Thanks,
