CD audio is always 44100Hz resolution at 1411 kb/s total in 2 channels.
Anything less is, well, less.

128 kb/s audio could just about drive those cheap headphones but any better
hardware will reveal just how much less clarity you're getting.

In kilobits per second, it's 1440, very much better than 128.
That's why 128Kbit MP3 files take up only a tenth of the space.
Even a 320 kilobit MP3 is lossy compared to a Redbook CD.

Soooo - you encode your MP3's at 1440kb/s?

The difference is size between CDA and Mp3, WMA etc etc is mostly due to the compression algorythms, (and of course some losses) not the amount of bits. EG convert a single CDA file to uncompressed wav file, it is the same size.

The bitrate is a literal measure of how many bits per second are used to express
the waveform. The difference in size is a direct consequence of that rate,
therefore a 1440 kilobit MP3 would be the exact same size as a redbook stream.
The uncompressed wave file you mention is encoded at exactly 1440 kilobits per
second if it is the exact same size.
