What I like to do is to load all the CD tracks into a multi-track editor (like
Logic). I happen to use Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro), but any
program will do.

Once they are in the different tracks, I can solo each track and bounce back
and forth between the tracks easily.

I then adjust the volumes for each of the tracks so that the perceived volume
is about the same. Audition has a tool to do this, but I prefer to do it by
ear. Sometimes I have to apply light overall compression to a track if I've
missed a particular quick spike in one part of the song, for example.

I like looking at the CD this way - it gives you a feel for the overall
project.
