In this day of large hard-drives and high-speed connections, there's no need to ever compress audio into ear-piercing MP3's. However, many stations (especially in smaller markets) are still airing these horrible-sounding files, and I'm ready to do something about this. Any station in any market can email me at radioconsulting@yahoo.com, and receive CD-quality replacement of any low-quality files!

Nice.
The higher frequency slur is just horrible on FM. I think the modulation technology has something to do with making it easier to hear.
Gonna e-mail files back, or ftp, or what?

That's just part of it (digital STLs, etc). Mainly it's because of the amount of compression (data, not audio) being used in those MP3s. It becomes noticeably audible on air at any bit rate below 256 kb/sec.
E-mailing linear WAV files? Doubt it. It would choke most systems.

So, how do you restore the information that lossy codecs intentionally throw away?

For well under a grand, there is always this magical machine.

You can't restore what is lost in an MP3 file. You must re-rip the track from the original CD.
The best way to get a bunch of wav files out to a station, is to send 'em out on DVD's. Each disc holds around 110 songs.
