It supports features like allowing you to set track and indexing points without having to chop up the file into multiple files first. The real benifit from this is if you happen to be doing a live cd. GCDMaster uses a 74 frame/sec time code like CDs do. That allows you to set a track right on a frame so that you don't have padded tracks, or worse loud popping noises between tracks. Even if you're not doing a live CD, it's still very handy for audio CDs.

gcdmaster is useful for what I do. I have a 54 minute session of an afternoon
thunderstorm recorded made up of 11 individual tracks. I smashed them all
together using Audacity leaving me with a 564 MB file. Burning a 54
minute session with only one track prevents searching for content.
gcdmaster allows me to insert track marks with no pregaps in appropriate places that serve as adequate placeholders for searching.
