Just to be a bit pedantic: Actually, classical CD's should sound better as MP3s than punk CD's, because punk CD's probably use more of the frequency spectrum at once, and thus mp3 isn't isn't ideal to represent all the frequencies at the best level. This is the idea of mp3, divide the frequency spectrum into a set of partitions, and just drop the ones that have an amplitude below a certain level. Maybe this wasn't too clear, but... Anyway, maybe because it's not easy to distinguish between a 192 kbps punk record in mp3 or on CD, I think the classical piece would actually be represented better...
