That conversion should be excellent quality. I don't know what it is, but there is a piece missing from this picture.

How are you playing the MP3 file?
How are you playing the original WAV file?

1. About making multiple tracks into one OR best way to record one continuous podcast I am recording myself reading from a novel (podcasts that will be distributed). I have to stop often and make corrections (which I have been doing by erasing the mistake and picking up from where I left off. Each ...
