MP3 is a lossy conversion format, which means it will compress a file and you will lose data in the process. A brief explanation of how it works is that it will take an audio file, and simply remove data that exists but won't be picked up by the human ear. You lose quality, but for the most part, you can't hear what's being taken out anyway. It's quite clever. During the conversion process, you can choose how much of the data is removed via the bitrate. Lower bitrates will mean more is removed and so it becomes more possible to tell the difference, higher bitrates maintain more of the data but that also means a larger file size.

WAV files are usually used to just hold everything in an uncompressed manner. They tend to be just a disorganised dump, but contain all the data. Converting from .wav to .mp3 has a purpose, because you're compressing a file, at the expense of quality, to end up with a smaller file size.

If you're actually starting with an .mp3, things have already been taken out out, so making it a .wav won't restore what is lost. You might as well keep the .mp3 as .mp3 if you want to shrink it.

Freelancer uses .wav files. That's why I need to convert them.
