I was wondering whether there is a difference in wave quality when you convert e.g. MP3 to wave. Are there different wave codec's available, like Lame for MP3? Is there a quality difference? Of course I know that you can not improve MP3 quality by wave conversion, but when you want to burn a CD from your MP3 than you need to convert to wave.

Re: Wave quality
Wave mp3 is lossy, so there would be a further loss of quality. -
Re: Wave quality
dCW can burn an audio CD directly from mp3's, it will do the needed conversions internally.Originally posted by WenscelesI was wondering whether there is a difference in wave quality when you convert e.g. MP3 to wave.

So can Nero.
But I believe mp3 to uncompressed 16-bit 44.1KHz 2-ch stereo PCM wav ought to preserve the audio quality of the mp3 - neither better, nor worse. Any other (compressed) wav format is going to be lossy as Spoon says.[B][url=http://www.webado.net/][COLOR=Blue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Christina[/FONT][/COLOR][/url][/B]

Re: Wave quality
Wensceles, I understand your question but I do not know the answer. Curious myself.
Should we us musicmatch to convert to .wav first, or dbpoweramp, or lame --decode?
Or just allow the burning software do it for you?
Another way to ask would be: Do some players play mp3s with better quality than others? Can some players decode mp3 better?
If anyone can answer please do....Comment
