Steinberg's “get it on CD” pros and cons

After lamenting the discontinued CDA I am now trying to be practical, and started auditioning Steinberg’s “get it on CD”.
Now, this software has two obvious pros: support of mp3 (w/o the need to convert to .wav first) and CD Text.
Similar to CDA, “get it on CD” will allow you to split a single wav file to multiple CD tracks (though not as elegantly as tapping “T” on the fly) by placing the marker on a desired spot, hence useful for mastering live or classical pieces.
One can also mix tracks together using various cross-fade modes, including a very powerful “logarithmic” fade, so it is useful for mixed compilation.
On the downside however, while in CDA one had the ability to place a track mark anywhere across the “mixed zone” of two tracks combined, it is not the case in “get it on CD”. You can cross-fade two songs, yet the track-mark will remain at the beginning of the second track. It is not useful if there are long silences or unwanted sounds at the beginning.
I am still trying to work around this problem and would appreciate the forum’s suggestions.
Thanks.

Im looking at this app too. I emailed a support question re this to Steinberg's tech support, but you know what web based support is like. Looking at the Steinberg KB it had this below, would this work?....



Trackmarks to split "Mega-Mix"


If you'd like to create a "Mega-Mix" (seamless combination of different tracks) and at the same time have the option to access each track seperately you have to use track markers.

Divide the mix with the track markers and open a new CD Montage. Select each track by doubleclicking between the markers and drag them into the Montage window. In the CD\Functions dialogue (in the CD Montage) you now can define the silences between single tracks (in this case 0 seconds) and begin with the burning process.

You should get it in your head that SF has discontinued CDA, and this is the best place to let those who rely on it know where alternatives can be found. It's about people helping each other, not about blind allegiances.
