No real audible difference between mp3 and wav at low frequencies but for mids and highs its a little different. Just torrent 320kb/s mp3 albums then declip slow and boost em in audacity
This man speaks truth all of you who are stuck on original .wav's need to get with the time compression has gotten better and codecs have improved a good mp3 rip is abour equivalent to a .wav and even an avid audiophile wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Unless you're using a .wav for tones in competition I wouldn't even bother.
It doesn't make you SQ or pro to use .wav MANY SQ builds use mp3's. Also Pioneer has an ability called Sound Retriever that enhances the freq range to that of a .wav and makes MP3's more like a .wav so far it has worked flawlessly might want to look into that.
