I know mp3's are of lower quality than cd audio due to compression, but
why does converting mp3's back into cd format destroy even more quality?
What exactly are you losing? More of the dynamic range? And would it
make a difference, say, if you converted mp3s into wav's first, like in
Sound Forge, versus letting a burning program like Nero do the
conversions for you? I just had never thought about this before. But I
suppose it could be similar to digital photography and the more you
re-save a file in different formats the more quality you lose (which
primarily has to do with each file types compression algorithm, I
believe).

.....my recommendation is a portable CD player that supports MP3
playing.
that way you dont have convert your mp3s (which destroys some more
of the little quality left anyway).....
