Too true...
There's an excellent book which I have just read lately which describes, in detail, the inexorable decline in recording quality from the early acoustic cylinders and 78s to the modern day compressed stuff we hear today.
All made to order to ensure maximum loudness, as required by radio stations, where audio dynamics is sacrificed to the altar of audience reach.
Have a look out for this worthwhile book: http://www.amazon.com/Perfecting-Sound-Forever-History-Recorded/dp/0865479380

Wave files are better than MP3s.

Remember to leave one ear bud out when listening so you can hear sounds around you.  |

| So True. I have a (home) recording studio. I strive to get the best sound I can and then someone converts it to Mp3 and plays it on an iPod with ear buds or cheap $10 headphones. |

When I do home recording I avoid compression (except for my vocal tracks because my voice sounds too thin as is). And when I 'master' everything I try to keep the volumes of all songs on the album fairly low. Wave file editors work great in adjusting the overall volume of each song.
