I have found with a lot of music, I can't tell listening with my I-pod plugged into the car, vs putting the same Music CD into the car and using that as a source.
However, for the music that I can tell the difference, its totally worth always buying CD's to start with. Prior to having a car with a CD player, it didn't matter to me as much. I re-bought a few albums I had bought digitally as CD's to test out. One album I could tell the difference, one album I probably could, but perhaps not really, and one, it really really improved listening to the album a lot.
If something has a in the flesh raw audio mix, the MP3 will take some of that away. If it has a lot of post editing, it may not matter as much.
Big music industry, chooses the music to the popular format. Crooning, popular because it could still be made out even with radio static, etc.
