EDIT - I'm looking to create a CDR Master to send off for reproduction.
 
I'm using 8.5 PE.  I'm finishing the last of my final mixes/mastering of 12 songs.  I have them entered into a session and all lined up from 1-12.  Are there any tutorials to bounce these to one final CDR master?...showing how to set track markers?...and explaining how to name the tracks (so the CD will show the song titles instead of Track 1, Track 2, etc)? 
 
Any help would be appreciated.

Sonar is not your program for this level of rendering to cd.  Wavelab is a professional program for that, though it is not cheap.  someone mentioned they are still using pyro, which I bought years ago, but I don't remember how it worked, It did allow for what you are trying to do if I recall correctly.

That blows.  It's not the answer I was looking for, but I appreciate the info frankjcc.  I just assumed I had the tools to do it since I have the "producer" version.  In the past I've brought my stuff to a local studio to create a CDR master.  I thought he was just using an old version of Digital Performer (which I thought was comparable), but I certainly could be wrong.  I didn't know you needed special software.
 
Thanks again for taking the time to answer this!

A final CD-Master is simply an Audio-CD. Not a data-CD.
Burn it as an "Audio-CD"
No pause between tracks.
If you want 2 seconds pause after a song, the song before must go 2 seconds longer with silence.
Simply cut the end of the song 2 seconds later.
Then you can send them to any company that makes cd-prodoction.
 
It does not matter how the songs are named, because the audio-cd knows no filenames.

+1 on Sony's CD Architect.  Like Jonesey, I use it and it does as great job.  Does exactly what you are looking to do and everything is redbook standard.  Not a real expensive piece of software (especially if you plan do be creating CD's for a while!).  Anyway.....good luck!

Sonar is a creation and mixing environment, Mastering requires a setup that's taylored to that task.  You can immitate a mastering session with sonar, but the more you learn about mastering a full album vs 1 song, you will find there is a different set of requirements than what we have available in sonar, Sonar would probably become completely unstable if they tried to make it all in one, it would cost a lot more money, and most people wouldn't even want all that complication to be added to their working environment.  Mastering is simply very different from Mixing.

I just happened to use the cd function in sonar last night for the first time after 11 years of cakewalk.  It certainly is a bit simplistic in it's format, but honestly I was pleased at what I heard on my old walkman.
