Never convert a 320 kbps MP3 into a WAV or AIFF file. Doing so increases the file size drastically but does not magically recreate the audio data that was stripped away. It remains an MP3 in a heavy WAV wrapper.

WAV and AIFF are "lossless" and uncompressed formats. They are exact mathematical copies of the pre-mastered or mastered audio file provided by the record label. At 1411 kbps, a lossless file retains 100% of its acoustic data. beatport download quality
