Hi all
This is my first post, so i'll make it a thick one! :P
I want to burn to cd the best quality downloads i can. Now so far i have downloaded a number of large wav files (1411 kbps), which are by far the best quality, but obviously they can be painstakingly slow and there aren't a large number of them around. Anyway my question is, does converting a downloaded mp3 to a wav file result in the file being the same quality as if you had downloaded it from kazaalite as a wav originally? In other words can you improve an mp3s sound quality by converting it to a wav file, thus resulting in a better quality of sound once burned to cd?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Very simply, the answer is NO. Once a file has been converted to mp3, some "data" is removed from it. You can convert it back to .wav format, but the data is still gone. If you are looking for .wav files, you are probably wasting your time. The human ear can't notice the difference between a well coded mp3 and a wav file. ;)
