We need a more automatic way.

Oh, no we don't - that's for Mickey Mouse software, and Audition isn't that.

What you want to achieve is quite easy to do, but first you have to understand how the software works. If you put all your files separately into track one with overlaps, then you have created a multitrack session. If you save the session (an option in the files menu), then whatever you have done in the way of positioning gets saved, and you can close this and go back to it and change it any time you want. When you have everything in your session playing the way you want, then you can export this to a new, mixed-down file. All of the original files remain untouched, but there's now an extra file which represents the results of your work. And you don't want the result as an MP3 file either - you need the mixdown file to be a 16-bit, 44.1k stereo wav in order to make an audio CD.

Not quite. We call a cue file a cue list, and it just represents points in a file, or in fact in a multitrack session as well. What you would be saving though is a session file, and this contains every single bit of information about everything in the session - so if you put EQ, Volume changes, effects, whatever, it's all recalled, along with the position of every file or clip in it. Normally you'd put this session file in the same folder as the files in your session that it's calling (these are called 'assets'), so when you re-open the session, it looks exactly as it did when you set it up in the first place.

At the moment you have Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Milliseconds selected as your time measurement on the Time bar at the top of the Waveform view. If you right click on the bar you will get a drop down menu allowing you to select different time scales. For CD production you need to select Compact Disc 75fps. Each second of CD audio is divided into 75 frames. In order to stop clicks between tracks you need to make sure that your tracks start and end exactly on a CD frame. To do this in the drop down Time menu you need to turn on Snap to Frame to make sure that your cursor snaps to a frame when you position it to edit your audio.
