Mastering/CD Burning software question

Hi folks.
I'm stepping out of my leagues a bit to venture into the Mastering forum, but I'm looking for some software and figured you folks would know where to turn.

I do a little bit of budget mastering on the side, basicly for clients who can't afford to go to the cheaper guys in town. I always tell them I'm not a professional mastering engineer, and that they're better off to spend a few hundred more bucks to go see the other guys, but I still end up doing an album every month or two. We're talking $300-400 jobs here. I'm just doing it in ProTools and running through the best outboard I've got.

I need some software that can allow me to drop track ID's into two tracks that are fading in/out of each other. Right now I'm only able to bounce each song down and then burn a CD, but there's always a gap between. I've just been using Toast (please don't flame me too hard... I know I know...) and the best I can do is set it to "0" seconds between tracks, but that obviously can't do a proper fade.

The catch? I don't want to spend much money. All I want is something where I can bring in the tracks, drop my track markers, and burn. I don't need to be able to edit, compress, or EQ or anything within it.

Thoughts?

Jam allows you to do crossfades and move the ID marker around.

For what you want PMCD is much easier than Jam. The fade tools of Jam are only rudementary cpmpared to PMCD. Setting start and end points also is easier and better.

Not as easy as Jam on Toast, there is a learning curve, but well worth the effort.
