There's an easier way (IMHO) to do this in peak. Just define each
track as a region in Peak, and then create a new playlist. Drag the
regions now listed in the contents window to the playlist, select
everything in the playlist window, and then choose the "Create new
document from playlist" menu command. Choose to create a Jam image
file and check the Regions radio button. Voila, a file which Jam will
open and burn a continuous CD from.
More details in the Peak documentation, Chapter 6: Playlists and CD Burning.
