For the Mac, SoundApp will do this, too--although there are better players

for the Mac, SoundApp is the best MP3->plain audio file converter I've found,

and shareware to boot.  But be forewarned that if you decode an MP3, import

the resulting soundfile(s) into Flash, and then recompress, they will have

even

more compression artifacts (crackly crunchy noises). I even find that decoded

MP3s by themselves have artifacts introduced.


It's like (as I believe someone said) converting a JPEG to a PICT, then

back to a JPEG....artifacts creep into the image.
