of course audio cds can only have 16bit/44.1.

but some burning programs may tend to rush the conversion causing quality loss - im not so sure about nero itself though...

its just, i dont think its such a good idea to let a program used to burn data onto a disc convert audio bit rates - better off letting a dedicated audio program do that........i dither down the wave files to 16bit in wavelab first - that way the buring software i use doesnt have to convert anything.

i think soundforge also burns audio CDs, but i never tried that, i'm pretty sure it also converts the file to 16bits/44 before burning it....

ive never used soundforge, so im not sure if it can burn audio disc - but if it does, then im sure it would convert the wave to 16bit before it burns
