If MP3 files are converted to WMA files is this therefore CD standard (44.1kHz 16bit)

You will be able to burn them in an appropriate programme to play back on red book cd players, but you cannot get back data that was lost when the MP3 was made.

For instance you can convert and MP3 to Wav, the file size will even increase, but the wav is just a 'wrapper' for a crap MP3 inside.

You need to go back to source for the full quality.

Thanks for that Gary!!
