You can do this, but you pay a quality price. MP3s at 128k have about 10%
of the data of a CD quality .wav file. MP3 compression is a "lossy" format;
you lose data and fidelity. Burning an MP3 to disc and extracting it as an
MP3 adds another quality loss; an MP3 of an MP3 is like a tape of a tape;
each generation sounds worse than the one before.
