K->System->Adept Manager

search for "soundconverter"
or
search for "sox"

I have not tried either it but it looks like what you are looking for. 
The following command should convert all of your mp3's to wav's

 > cd MyMusic
MyMusic>  find . -print0 -name "*.mp3" | sed -e "s/\.mp3$//" | xargs  
-0tI {} sox "{}.mp3" "{}.wav"

It is also possible to do with mplayer but it is a little more complex. 
This would be useful only if you already have mplayer installed with mp3 
support.



Just out of curiosity... why mp3->wav? Do you sell hard disks?
