I agree, that's why I came up with the marker idea some time ago. But Remon 
explained why he prefers to work with songs. If you stick to one of the two 
concepts, you won't be bothered with the other one at all. If you mix markers 
and multiple songs, the current solution of cdrdao export tries to at least 
do something useful. It doesn't crash, or abort, or ignore markers, and that 
was my goal. Please let me know how it works for you.

Two things are missing ATM:
- adding an end marker. It is added automatically with the first track marker, 
but once it was deleted accidentally, it can only be re-added by clearing all 
markers, then it will again be added automatically with the first track 
marker.
- Input fields for some CD text labels. There is a CD text dialog in the Views 
menu, but it doesn't do anything, and I actually planned to merge it with the 
project settings dialog.

P.S. You can also arrange an entire CD in each song, and still store it in one 
project. You just have to export each song one by one, then you'll get a TOC 
file for each song.

Exporting one song results in two files: 
Songname1.wav 
Songname1.toc

Exporting all songs results in multiple files: 
Songname1.wav
Songname2.wav... 
SongnameN.wav
Projectname.toc
