Adding Track Marks in MC6

I'm fairly new to MC6, and brand new to the forums. Tons of great information. Thank you all.
When creating a project that will be exported to a CD wav file in MC6, is it possible to set up track marks? For example: to be able to start the playback at perdetermined points in addition to between songs.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Do you mean in MC? Or on the CD?
In MC, just add markers where you want them and you can select a marker to start from.
I don't know how that's possible on a CD, except break the song up into segments so each part has it's own starting point on the CD.
There may be some commercial CD-burning software that has that feature, but I'm unfamiliar with CD-burning software.

I don't use the burner function in MC, I use windows media player to burn audio CDs instead.

but if I recall correctly, if you use MC to burn an audio CD, you set up each song on a separate track in order to have them as separate songs on the CD.  if you make them sequential in the same track then they'll be that way on the CD.

I THINK that's the way it works, like I said, I haven't done this - I'm just telling you what I think it works like from what I've read on the forum.

Thanks for the replies so far. I do mean on the CD, but not separate songs. I'd like to be able to start in the middle of a song (say, on the chorus), for practice purposes, when using the CD.

I think most folks here use an external burner. I do.  You set up the play list of tracks to burn, and burn them.

The time between tracks is normally set to 2 sec, but is adjustable  in most burning programs.

Just export the songs from MC into a special folder you create to hold the exported songs.

I don't know of a way to do that.  when you burn an audio CD, it encodes the wave file into the correct format which hides the wave file and indexes it by the header files.

That, my friend is a function of the player.

Some players will let you "fast forward" and "rewind" through a song, and some will not. There are none that let you set a marker in the song to restart from that point consistently.  

However.... 

you could import the wave or MP3 into MC and do that easily from MC. 

The only way I can see to do it would be to chop the song up into smaller parts (intro, verse 1, chorus 1, lead guitar, etc.) and use a CD-burning software to burn each part as an individual track, and have the software burn them as close together as possible. It probably won't be seamless, though. Research some of the popular CD-burning software available to see if they can do that.

Greg it is possible to do a seamless track marker on a CD.

I have a hardware burner that allows me to place track markers all over a song as I'm recording it in real time like a cassette..... I just push the button. 

Also.... I know you have heard Dark Side of the Moon.... there are track markers on the CD between songs that as you listen, run into one another and the music never stops. 

I'm guessing on a computer... just set the time between tracks to zero. 

I do this for the H.S. colorguard so they can work on sections of a song easily. I use a software package called Audio Cleaner by Magix which I purchased before I got cakewalk. It's very convenient to set down markers and have them recognized as multiple tracks. Like Greg and Herb said, You can export sections of your songs to wav files and combine them back to back if your CD burning utility will allow zero time between tracks.

Thanks for all the replies. I know it is possible. I buy CDs all the time for my church choir where there are track markers all over the place. I'll give these suggestions a try.

guess I learnt sompin today!
