Sounds like the OP is self-mastering. Are you burning an actual CD? That's the only time you'll need 16/44.1. What burning app are you using? The reason I ask is that some apps (for example Sony CD Architect on Windows) have a quality dither built-in. You can simply pull your final files, regardless of bit/sample rate, right into CD Architect and let it dither to 16/44.1 during the CD burn process. Just a thought!
