Thanks for the tips, Arnold. I'm struggling with mastering myself.
One overall question, then a few more specific.
Genarally: What advantages, if any, does your method have over just
taking a bunch of well mixed songs, throwing them in a single
directory, normalizing them with ecanormalize (or something like it)
and burning that directory to disc as audio? (An aside to this
question: anybody know how to get metadata into wav files?)

A little more detail would be helpful here for us newbs -- what are
the basic principles of good mastering? I haven't had any luck with
jamin even though it works well with *very* low latency on my system
-- can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with it.

Any advantages to a .toc file as opposed to plain old wav or aiff?

Sounds great. Anybody have any success at doing this without selling
your soul to a record company?
