Awesome, but I've heard that when going from MP3 to WAV, that information will be added to the WAV to make the wav go back to the originial size. Is that true? [[User:68.18.136.186|68.18.136.186]] 00:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:Not really. Think of it this way: the analog sound you hear is a continuous waveform. The various digital formats such as MP3 and WAV are simply numeric ''descriptions'' of that waveform. Lossy formats like MP3 are a less precise and less accurate description than WAV. The waveform that results from decoding MP3 data will look somwhat similar to the original uncompressed waveform but it won't be identical. The WAV that results after decoding MP3 is just a highly accurate description of that somewhat inaccurate compressed waveform, so it takes up more space than the MP3 but contains no additional accuracy or fidelity. I hope that helps. :) --[[User:Bk0|Bk0]] ([[User talk:Bk0|Talk]]) 13:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
