Red Book CD can contain up to 99 index markers.
Creating tracks automatically using events on the timeline
From the Tools menu, choose Lay Out Audio CD from Events to automatically create a CD layout for a
disc-at-once audio CD. The CD layout bar is displayed and track regions are added.

Adding a hidden track at the beginning of a CD
If your CD recorder supports it, you can add a hidden track by adding a track in the space before Track 1.
When the CD is inserted in an audio CD player, it will automatically start at Track 1, but the user can find
the hidden track by rewinding past the beginning of the first track.
