well an mp3 is a form of compression, we cant really hear it much, but its of a lower quality than an Audio Cd or even a wave...hence the smaller file size...

It relies upon on a pair of issues. The bitrate is the main serious ingredient. with the aid of fact MP3 compresses audio data (and it takes out chunks of "beside the point" documents), at a low bitrate it could sound like audio from a undesirable radio. the better bitrates provide a genuine-er high quality, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not in any respect *as* stable as real CD audio. ingredient is, till you're an audiophile (and hear somewhat annoying), at 128kbps, an MP3 song will sound purely effective and is an outstanding compromise between length and high quality.

When CD audio gets compressed into Mp3 some of the sound gets cut off. But the sound that gets cut off is the sound normally the human ear can't distinguish.
It's called pyschoacoustics (i think its the right spelling). Our human ear can only distinguish a certain frequency range and even in that range we can't make out every freakin sound. That's why when u play an mp3 u can see the frequency in Hz.
If the frequency is high that means compression was low but better quality. If the fequency is low that means high compression but less quality.

If you ask me there's no difference, as long as your bit-rate is 128 or higher sounds the same to me. I'm in the process of transferring alot of my CD collection into mp3 format. I have about a million mp3's stored on my PC. It's cool to have a party, and people ask you to play a song,and it's right at your fingertips.

mp3s are digitally compressed. There are different levels of compression. 320 retains most of the original CD quality whereas 128 is relatively low quality.

Minimal. If you have really high-end audio equipment, you might be able to hear the difference, but in regular listing, you can't tell the difference.

Depends on your compression ratio.
