Keep in mind that converting from MP3 -> WAV -> MP3 is going to dramatically reduce the quality of the resulting MP3. Essentially, you're encoding the audio file with lossy compression, and then compressing it again with lossy compression. You're probably going to hear some static or popping sounds in your resulting file.
