I don't intend this question to be critical--I honestly find the post puzzling: Why would you want to convert MP3 to WAV or FLAC? If you've already paid the lossy compression price for getting relatively small sized music files that don't cost you the bandwidth that uncompressed or lossless costs to get to a device, why reconvert? As the old expression goes, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. -- stephenkca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stephenkca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7820 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53973 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
