CD Architect from Sony Media (formerly Sonic Foundry) is great if you want 
to get creative with your mixes. You can do simple crossfades, or define 
custom volume ramps for each track, plus you can crop off the beginning and 
end of tracks without having to edit the original file. You can drop and 
move track markers anywhere you want...very useful for dividing up a 
continuous live track into individual tracks without having to actually cut 
apart the source file.
