Hello all! I was wondering if converting from MP3 to a Wav file hurt
the overall audio quality. I am downloading music off the net an
unfortunately they are mp3 files. I was hoping that if I converted t
wav that it would actually help the sound quality?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks for Reading

In converting from WAV to MP3, there is loss. The converse is not the
case-- i.e. there is nothing gained in converting from mp3 to WAV.
There is nothing further lost either (except free disk space).

In fact, that's how I evaluate codecs. I turn the compressed file into a
wave file and burn it to CDR. The beauty of it is that nobody can tell
which track is the compressed one and which one is CDDA. At least not
without instruments.
