Wave files are most commonly LPCM format, which is uncompressed and therefore lossless.

MP3s at the highest bit rate are also high quality. Go for 128 at minimum or better 320 k/bits. Obviously, the less compression the bigger the files.

that's the problem - Q5 did not read lossless from windows media player, it did read 320 MP3 just fine.
