Re: cd burning
Audacity runs at 32-bit Floating internally and I believe you can't stop it. Further, Audacity doesn't have Clip INFO, so you can't use it to tell you the condition of a sound clip.
Regardless of what's on the timeline, you should be Exporting to WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit. That's the format of sound on an Audio CD. Most CD burning programs don't care Stereo or Mono. They convert everything to Stereo. I had a burner back in the Eisenhower Administration that wouldn't, but that was the last one.
You can export sound files manually, or there is a technique of putting labels in and have Audacity automatically export multiple sound files for you.

Re: cd burning
Which Audio CD Authoring and Burning program are you using? There has to be one—not just a burner.
You have to be able to rearrange your music files different from alphabetic order and choose the number of seconds between songs.

Re: cd burning
That illustration is from iTunes. iTunes wants you to create a playlist of your songs and then burn your playlist to CD. So there is a step in the middle.

Re: cd burning
As per the similar post I can recommend foobar2000 with the audio CD maker component added. Foobar2K is also an excellent player and manages playlists, tag editing, bulk format conversions etc. quite well. Its not open source like Audacity but it is free and has a vast number of plug in extras called components.
