Re: compressing mp3 files

[Chris Skarstad]

Yes, actually if you converted your mp3 to a wav file, you wouldn't be 
compressing it, you would actually be expanding it.  The average mp3 of a 4 
minute song is about 4 megs. A wav file is 10 times that, so think of it as 
about 10 megs of disc space for every minute of audio.  Plus as Doc so 
rightly pointed out, with so many cd burning packages like Easy CD Creator 
and nero accepting mp3 files to be directly burned to a cd, you would 
actually be taking the long way around and spending a lot of time 
unnecessarily doing things you don't have to.
