I have done that from time to time, but if you're a real audiophile, and
have HiFi equipment (or are a headphone guru with a nice set of 'phones)
then you may notice differences. But on sub $1000 systems I really cannot
tell the difference between MP3 @ 192kbps and WAV. Unless, of course, it's
a particularly challenging piece with a large dynamic range, but even then
using variable bitrates tends to make things better.

Great stuff. Cool!
