I'm not sure I'm following you there...

Yes, you can convert a MP3 back into a WAV, but you should never do that. Uncompressing a MP3 and turning it into a FLAC completely voids the whole reason of using lossless compression... It's like taking a photocopy of a photocopy - the quality just gets progressively worse.
