Yes, normally. Wav from CD (which is actually "Red Book Audio" but it rips to .wav) is 1411 kb/s. MP3 (at largest size) is 320 kb/s, and most MP3s are smaller than that. Wav in most cases is 5-10 trimes larger than MP3s.

wav and mp3 are both just different types of files. You can convert one to the other(a free conversion program is Handbrake.)

Also there isn't really a point in converting from .mp3 to .wav.
