Regarding the ost about MP3 decompression to WAV file, how how it is
invariably inferior...I offer this:
Use Shorten (SHN) format. It is the equivalent of ZIP for WAV files,
yielding a 2:1 size ratio, which isn't all that great (as opposed to
44/128k MP3's which are 10:1) but here's the kicker---no loss in
quality...you decompress a SHN file...byte-by-byte identical. Deadheads
and Phish fans et al have been using this form to trade full shows...I
think we should do the same...
For more information check this out:

We'd need more disk space, of course, but I think it'd be worth it...get
those "underwater"-sounding files out of existece...
