Howard do you have a reputable editor such as Sound Forge (with the 
Frauenhoffer MP3 license)?  There's included in the package a utility called 
"Batch Converter" that'll save you an incredible amount of time reformatting 
the MP3s to .wav files.

Richard,

You're right, space is cheap.  I recently got a 300GB external drive  for 
$100, that should hold about 10,000 WAV tracks!  What happens when I convert 
MP3 files to WAV?  I assume the loss is already there?

Well, as someone said, and it may have been you, I've got 250 audio CDs to 
Rip to WAV, that are already in MP3 format.  Luckily, Ripping doesn't take 
nearly the time it takes to play the track.

Thanks,

Howard
