Need help finding a CD authorer that supports 32bit float

When I make music I make sure to save it in 32bit float .wav files, however now that I have enough audio files to burn to a CD I can't find a program on windows to burn them to a CD-R.  Does anyone know of a free program to burn these files with?  I would really rather not sacrifice quality by downgrading my recordings to 16bit int .wav files.

As far as I know, CD-Audio only supports 16bit 44.1kHz, so I don't think it would be possible to burn them as an audio CD without converting them to 16bit.

Or burn them as files. I found CDBurnerXP after no googling at all (free cd burn).

Indeed. Whatever program you use, it will downsample to 44.1 kHz / 16 bit before burning anyway.

Therefore I advice you to mixdown your music to that format yourself. I assume that you use some sort of music program which supports that, including proper resampling, dithering etc.
