FWIW in the studio world, one can spend many thousands of dollars on
dedicated hardware to do high-quality resampling; the software I use
(Samplitude)  has a 'high quality' mode that can take an *extremely* long
time to do best-quality (nearly artifact-free) conversion...

...the received wisdom is, if you're ever going to deliver on CD, record
at 44.1.  There's a running debate about whether 88.2 is a better choice
for high-sample rate recording than 96, specifically because it's easier
to drop every other sample than resample...

...since I record on MD at 44.1, it's never been an issue for me.

best,
 aaron
