Hi Chris. The sampling rate of 44.1 khz does not mean the music is CD quality. The bit rate will determine the frequency response of the music which is the real measure of quality.
So, a bit rate of 128kbps will yield a frequency range that is much more limited than 320 kbps which means less low end and high treble frequency. Less dynamic frequency range, less quality... There was a great resource which gave a table of frequency range against bit rates but unfortunately I can't find it just yet. Regards.
