Audio Converting

Is it worth converting my .MP3's to .WAV PCM's? Or since I'm starting with a compressed file, I won't hear much difference anyway?

There will be no difference in sound quality at all. If you're starting with a compressed file then the sound quality will stay compressed even as a WAV file, so there's no real point converting.

Yep.. No Point really. If you have an MP3 that is compressed, what is the point of converting it to an uncompressed format? would make no difference and would probably be a larger file size anyways.
