I could be missing the point here, but I don't think anyone is saying that a 320KBPS MP3 won't sound better if it is an original file. Some may not hear much of a difference, though, but others might. What some people seem to think, though, is that if they have a 64KBPS MP3 and they convert it up to a 320KBPS MP3 that it will sound better and it won't. One can't really get back what was already lost.
