can a 320 Kbps mp3 sound as good as a CD
I'm not a Audio expert so my question may sound lame

I tried it inside Merc E430(Bose speakers inside) and Ipod(with the most minimal compression according to the Mac) sounded much better than built-in CD-player. Tried the same thing in my home rig -- got the same thing reversed.
