Can I change a MP3 file to a wav file? If so, how? THANKS

Yes you can. Before doing this, be aware that a 3mb .mp3 file is going to turn into a 50 meg wav file.

Unfortunatly, I do not have a copy of Winamp on the machine that I am working on, but one of the default plugins is available to accomplish this feat. This is from a site I know of, so if it doesn't work exactly, you may need to play with it a bit.

(1)Press Ctrl+P when WinAmp is 'on top' , and click on the 'Audio I/O' tab.

(2) Click on the downwards arrow under 'Output Plugins' and select 'Nullsoft WaveOut Plugin v*.** [OUT_DISK.DLL] ' .

(3) Click on the 'Configure' button underneath and browse to the directory where you want the .WAVs to be stored.

(4) Click on OK.

(5)That's it. When you next play an mp3 it will be streamed to disk rather than played through your soundcard. Don't forget to repeat the procedure when you've finished converting files, only choosing the '[OUT_WAVE.DLL]' option to restore your listening pleasure.

Thanks, but I'm wondering if there is another way...

Why? What's wrong with that way? If you could explain a little more, I could find you an alternative.
