I'm sure you can convert it with ProTools. If you have it with a waveform displayed it must be converted out of mp3 to some other format already. Otherwise download a simple waveform editor like Amadeus.....
http://www.hairersoft.com (You get a few weeks free trial on this.) Open your mp3 in that then save it as wav.

i've never touched protools but i'd be surprised if it couldnt convert to wav. soundforge converts to wav. before i made beats i used winamp to convert to wav. i dont know if the new version of winamp will do that though. there has to be a reason im still rocking version 2.91 & i think extracting wav was it

With a Mac, you can do that in iTunes.
Maybe you can do it with a PC as well.
In the meantime, check at www.versiontracker.com.
Do a search for MP3.
I'm sure there is a open source program that will do it.

Peace.

Oh yes....I forgot about iTunes for that! However, I always try & keep samples out of iTunes as I like to play random selections & it is really annoying when the flow of songs get interupted by single drum hits.

Pipecock....look on VersionTracker for Xtract2Wave44 . It does exactly what you want....converts mp3 to wav with a simple drag & drop, & it is free. Again, I should have remembered that when I first read your question.

mp3s are shit, no body. a bit like my hair. u need to shampoo and condition them again.
