Converting from original WAV to MP3 only degrades the quality once.. and sounds a lot better.
transcoding does suck horribly normally, unless you are using a high quality ogg-vorbis or MPC file as the source.

And I once used musicmatch (version5/6, paid for lifetime upgrade), but the program is bloated compared to WA. And both winamp and musicmatch are bloated eyecandy compared to Foobar2000 (the only audio player I use now). My biggest personal complaint about musicmatch is the lack of support of support for the formats I use: Ape, Flac, MPC, Ogg-Vorbis, and just starting to play with AAC.

edit: finally found this thread
