Thank you, that's the case. I asked Ardour to export to a 16-bit FLAC
and the task was performed even more efficient than through
SoundConverter: resulting file is 262 MB.

I assume that for CD quality I won't need 24-bit? As a hobby musician
and radio DJ, will I ever?

Being satisfied for now to export to 16-bit, I will not bother with this
test.

Thank you very much for your helpful answer!
