I beleive the audio quality depends on the file in question.

Maximum u can do in software is add plug-ins like DFX or SRS-Audio sandox.

Winamp FTW.

If you want really good quality ditch the MP3 128s...get lossless MP3 320kps multichannel or FLACs.

I use Media Player Classic with K- Lite Mega Codec Pack as audio and video player.

The sound quality depends on the sound file and the hardware. I don't think audio players make much difference. Winamp is an audio player most people prefer as it's easy to use and many useful feature.

Important factors for high quality MP3 file

Bit Rate

94 kb/s- Radio Quality
128 kb/s- CD Quality
320 kb/s- DVD Quality

Sample Rate

22050 Hz - Low Quality
44100 Hz - Standard Quality
48000 Hz - High Quality

And Audio Channels- 2.0, 2.1, 4.1, 5,1.

but MP3 even at 320 kbps is not lossless. FLAC and WAV are the ones which are truly lossless and hence have the best audible quality.

How to get files in FLAC format ? Converting an MP3 file to FLAC won't make any difference right ? WAV format is commonly used, so it's not a problem.

No it won't.

While copying from CD's itself it should be converted to FLAC. IMO only audiophiles use it !
