Default Quality of music downloads

Okay so I'm brand new at all this and am already completely addicted. Mostly for songs I'd had on LP but couldn't find on CD or didn't want to pay for an entire album again when I just wanted one song. Also, so very cool live cuts, BUT... am I doing something wrong or does the sound quality in general just suck? The VAST MAJORITY of downloads, and I am not uploading anything less that 128, mostly higher, but still the quality is AWFUL! It seems like nearly every song has been recorded at too high a level , especially the bass notes. They break up and/or are terribly distorted. Is there a way for me to adjust the levels?

(I'm using an IBook with OS 10.2 on an Adelphia high speed cable line)

Love this whole concept, but if the sound quality is lousy, why bother?

Thanks for any feedback,

David
