You can select those codecs so that the Wav is encoded with them, but it is still a wav.
Use Musicmatch to convert the MP3s to WAVs and then load the WAVs into Windows Sound Recorder, Press the 'change' button, select the WAV format you want to save it in, name your file (or leave the name as it is) and press save.

You can then use Musicmatch to change it back to MP3 but at a lower bit rate so you save bits as well as hard drive space.

I often use this process to switch between mono and stereo ( and vice versa) and different bit sizes to improve or reduce music quality or reduce file sizes for storage or sending over the internet as e-mail attachments.

Hope this helps.
