Quality does not really determine how loud it is actually. I get all my music from CDs, rip them to two formats (one loseless and the other as MP3). Currently

The compression not only can compress the song and omit things but depending on how the pervious person "obtained" that song can be recorded at different levels. This is why I buy cd's and rip directly uncompressed to my computer for the BEST sound quality. Here is plenty more info on audio compression. Car Audio 101

While compression will remove certain notes, the volume level stays intact.

For best quality you want to play .wav files which are CD files or convert files to .flac format. Both formats are optimal.
If you don't wanna play CDs, you can simply burn tons of mp3 compressed files to a CD and play these, which i do. I also keep a ipod with mp3s files in my car. Regarding mp3s, you will want to download 192kps (minimum) quality. 320kps are the highest quality, and sound pretty good for most sound systems. When you start getting into high-end car sound systems like McIntosh, then, i would stick w/ .wav or .flac format simply because you want to hear how the music was originally intended to be heard i.e. no loss in quality, non-compressed files. Stay away from peer-to-peer networks, which could result in getting a virus on your computer.. |

But I will say when I put something on my martin logans at home I can immediately tell if it is from my friends compressed files or from my cd collection coming through apple tv.
