Yes, it is possible to convert like Sfar describes- using "Convert to xxxx ..." but like Jax2 says: why would you?

the mp3 is an audio format which has removed data to make it smaller. converting it to another format WAV or AIFF or AAC or Apple lossless will not recover that data, how could it? the removed data (mp3) is gone gone gone.

best to set the desired format and re-import the music from CD or purchase higher quality online music.
houston,

Formats:

WAV and AIFF should sound identical to the orightincal CD. both are 1 to 1 copies of original (if CD). in iTunes, AIFF has the advantage of linking cover art -where WAV will not allow that.
.
"Apple lossless" will be nearly identical to the original but will be about 60-70% file size.
.
AAC is a compressed so data is thrown away. In a system that is very detailed the 320kbps setting soundsvery good. the 128bps sounds OK.
