Downloading & Converting Music

you can convert back but with lost information during MP3 conversion. portable iplayers now have a capability of playing lossless formats for small purchase price of an application. there are many sites that have lossless downloads

I googled 'lossless downloads' and found the following link to a list of such sites: http://www.head-fi.org/t/558074/where-to-download-lossless-music

I know nothing about the sites listed.

MP3 eliminates some data, so it cannot be recovered to make a "clean" .wav file. I recommend ripping CDs with dbpoweramp on PC or XLD on Mac to .wav format and ALWAYS use Accurate Rip to verify it (option on dbpoweramp).

Some popular download sites are:

HDtracks
2L
highdeftapetransfers.com

Most of these have FLAC, so you can convert it back to .wav using dbpoweramp or XLD. .wav sounds better.

In most cases, it would be cheaper to buy the original CD from Amazon and then rip your own MP3s if that is what you need for a portable or such. You then have the benefit of both the MP3 and the original disc.,,

the cheapest way is a-bit politically incorrect, but there are tons of even hard to find choices in thepiratebay.se for free.
