Export to WAV 16 not saving correct bitrate

Import audio: 24 bit 88.2 sample
Effect > Tempo > 2% (slow)
Tracks > Resample > 44.1
Export audio WAV 16bit PCM

The resulting file has bitrate of 2822kbps, per windows properties details.

How can I save this file in 16/44.1 CD-ready format after Audacity fx processing? Or is it possible that the properties info is incorrect, and the file is ok to burn?

Thanks,
Mike

The sample rate of exported files is set by the “Project Rate” (lower left corner of the main Audacity window). No need to resample the track first - just set the Project rate and export. (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/selection_toolbar.html#rate)

Steve, the project rate is for sample rate. I am talking about bit rate. Please see above.

Bit-rate = sample rate x bits per sample x number of channels.

Set the Project Rate to 44100 and then export as 16-bit wav. The bit-rate for 16-bits per sample, 44100 Hz sample rate, stereo = 16 x 44100 x 2 = 1411.2 kbps.
The correct format for a standard audio CD is 16-bits per sample, 44100 Hz sample rate, stereo.
