I burned and listened to the Wav and it's converted mp3 on my good
stereo and the mp3 didn't sound like it had more high end. It just
sounded more compressed,which it is. I agree that somehow the mp3
conversion causes a slight volume boost which made the winamp bar
graph appear to have more highs. I agree that the winamp eq display is
probably not all that accurate.
Thanks for the comments
