As far as I know it's gone for good - just like a photograph with a compressed JPG file, you can't generate data that doesn't exist. Once a file is compressed the data is lost (otherwise it would be the original size). But the good news is that MP3 files play very well, and you need to be pretty discriminating to tell the difference (admittedly some are). The original compression in MP3 files deleted data that
most humans couldn't hear.
