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.
