There are no dumb questions, just dumb people.

I kid.

No, once the fidelity is lost, it cannot be regained.

I assume you meant mp3 to wav like your topic header stated, but "garbage in garbage out"

If you think of an MP3 like a cheap photocopy of a beautiful picture it may make more sense. The cheap photocopy "misses" some of the detail. If you then took a real photograph of that photocopy, you would be taking a picture of that same missing detail.

really didnt mean to offend you my man. Seriously. and remember, I didnt bring up anything about you being dumb or said you asked a dumb question. someone else did...so maybe your anger should be directed at them.

Listen, let me defend GearAddict here a little.

When you take an file and zip it to reduce it's file size, you can always regain the original.

So the thought process is worth at least asking when it comes to mp3s. When you zip a wave file, it makes it like half the size. When you unzip, no fidelity loss there.

So the logic is actually quite sound to ask the question.

And, then you get Creative spouting some BS about regaining fidelity from Mp3s (which basically means a little upward expansion and aural exciter) for their desktop speaker systems and I can see why you'd ask.

No man, I'm pissed because you said they should be mad at me. Just don't be trying to redirect any anger towards me, that's all I'm unhappy about, I don't deserve it.

You thinking a joke was funny has nothing to do with any of this.

And I'm done.

Gearaddict, if you've got a question and I haven't answered it (I don't open 99% of threads in Low End) and you'd like my opinion, feel free to PM.

fukin bullshit to the highest degree.

a joke was cracked and I laughed. was no need to answer the original question because because it had already been answered.

please forgive me for laughing at the joke. Sorry...its all my fault for causing all this anger and hate.
