You won't lose any more by burning at 48x vs 8x.

Why does MP3 -> Wav lose quality?

Are you serious?
man....By definition, mp3 is a losey compression scheme.

Right, but I would figure going to wav wouldn't lose anything. I understand the other way around, but I thought that if you convert your mp3 to a wav file, your wav file will be the same quality as the source mp3.

It will. You don't lose quality converting to wav, but you lost quality in the original conversion to MP3.

man..... :frown: WAV --> MP3 = loose quality?????????? :frown:

Short answer: You will loose quality burning at 42x as opposed to 8x because of jitter
Long Answer: Nobody is going to have the equipment to tell

Exactly... tests can show a quality differance but it's not somthing anyone is going to be able to hear.

No, there are people who can hear the difference, but you need a very accurate system.
