Personally, I use PrimoDvd from Primera, (which also carries 
a Sonic TM), since I use a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher 
(using a Plextor 715-A) for my copies. I drag the WAV files 
into the project window, and burn a data CD. It is perfectly 
possible and accepted practice to make 24/44.1 CDs, they 
just will be Data CDs, and will not be playable on a 
conventional  CD player. They won't be "CDs'" in the common 
sense of the term, but they are on CD-Rs. There is no way to 
make a Redbook CD at 24/44.1, since 16 bits is an integral 
part of the spec (please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't 
read the Redbook for a while, or , um, never) I suspect this 
is common knowledge, but the fact seems to be obscured in 
the discussion.
There are any number of readers (free and otherwise) that 
will play WAV files from a data disc, so playability is not 
a problem unless all you've got is a CD player, in which 
case, you're in dire straits indeed.
