It depends what quality the MP3 you're playing. If it's encoded to 320 kbps then you probably won't hear any difference between the CD and MP3. Anything lower than 320 you might hear audible distortion as you crank up the volume of the MP3 playing.

Do not agree, even at 320, whether you can 'hear' the difference or not, there is a big difference. Listen to Radiohead lossless vs 320.... or even Poison the Well or Deftones. Any MP3 bit rate immediately removes very important levels in songs but leaves the listener thinking 'ah, it sounds fine'

Music should not be compromised.

MP3 codecs don't remove levels in songs as such, it removes low and high frequencies that the human ear can't actually hear. You must have some great ears cause it's hard for me unless I try so extremely hard, it's hard to distinguish between a 320 and a lossless file. Same goes for most people I bet.
