Can you convert mp3 songs into the .wav file format to increase quality?

I have a lot of mp3 songs and I want to play them on a good sound system. i was wondering if converting mp3 files to wav files would increase the quality since .wav files are not compressed. If not, is there some other way to make the sound quality of mp3s better?

Once a file has been compressed through a lossy codec like MP3, you cannot get the removed data back. Think of it like cutting some excess bits off something to try and fit it into a box (lol) -- you can't put the bits back perfectly on like it was originally. Changing it back to WAV is just putting your poor cut up object into a bigger box. The sound data was cut, it's not coming back. OK that might not be the best metaphor but I hope it's clear anyway.

from what i hear flacc (sp?) is the best way to go.
You can download a program called Wavepad. You can convert mp3's to wav's or you can tweak your mp3 file, it's a great program and it's free.
My guess, (based on photo files) is no. Once they're compressed, the quality has been compromised, uncompressing it will not bring it back. As far as quality, I've never noticed a difference between MP3 and Wav.
no .you cannot get more quality than what is in the file already. The only way is to start from cd quality and re-rip the song into the highest quality setting. 320kbps (160kbps per channel) this will take more space on your computer and subsequently your ipod.



If quality is the issue why not buy a jukebox system for your original cd's basically a 100 + disc changer on your system to keep them hidden but accessible to your system.



Personally i just play my 190 kbps files from the computer into my stereo and i'm satisfied with the quality. if you are a diehard audiophile You will not be. but if you can afford to be one of those you can pay the price of a multichanger
