Peter,

Try this.

Start with your 15min. audio track with markers where you wand CD tracks. Don't do any splits.

Tools -> Layout CD from events which will give you 1 track.

Click on the first marker and hit "N" on the keyboard or Insert->Audio track region if your prefer.

Go to the next marker and hit "N" again for each marker.

Now you your ready to burn. Track at once is preferred.

BTW if you want silence between tracks you will need to create the events by splitting and slide them to the right to insert some silence. Having ripple on makes the job easy but you may want to turn ripple off as soon as you are done.

You are mistakenly using CD Track Indexes when you should be using CD Track Regions.

What your screenshot shows is a single CD track (indicated by the red region markers at each end) containing several index points (indicated by the purple index markers). This is not what you want. What you want is several CD tracks.

To get what you want, remove all the CD indexes and replace them with CD track regions. The easiest way to insert the CD Track Regions is just to use the "N" key (not the "M" key which inserts a normal marker, or the "SHIFT-N" key which inserts CD Track Indexes).

NB. CD Track Indexes are used to mark points within a single CD track. They are almost useless in practice as only a very very few CD players understand them. Their typical intended purpose is for where you have a large number of very short items of audio on a single disc - something like a sound effects disc for example. In that situation the limit of 99 tracks per CD would mean that you could not easily jump to the beginning of all of the hundreds of bangs, crashes, etc, that you can fit on the disc. Using CD track indexes allows you to navigate straight to Track 63 Index 10 - "Cod Whizzbang" or whatever. But unless you are the Sound FX department of a major broadcaster or film studio or something equivalent you almost certainly won't have a CD player that can navigate using indexes anyway.

The very first CD player i ever bought, it was a display model on sale for $69.95 at K-Mart back in 1988, had index advance and reverse buttons. I think i found one CD that had index markers on it and tried it. It worked! I don't remember the brand. My mom has had it for the past 15 years or so and still uses it daily. I'll take a look next time i'm there, which will be tonight for my sister-in-law's birthday party.

I've probably owned 50 more CD players since then, and used twice as many that belonged to other people. Some were very high-end machines in broadcast and theatre installations. I can't recall a single one of them having index controls.

I've still got the very first HiFi CD player I bought (a Technics SL-P277A). It can display indexes, but it has no method of navigating via them.

I don't think any of the other machines I've seen/used since have even been able to display indexes, let alone use them for navigation.Shame.

The pirimary use is to mark 'movements' or discreet parts of a single classical track. Several Sony players I have owned have had index navigation - usually the models with the 20 'direct track' buttons, which are incredibly useful.
