Sure the quality is reduced, but that may not be bad.  Consider the devices
that are used to play MP3's.  The little thing that you carry around while
you're jogging with cheap earphones, or the player in your car that has
speakers, electronics and environment that are far from optimum for
listening.  In your home theater with audiophile quality equipment the loss
in quality would probably be noticeable.  In your car while driving down the
highway or in your iPod while jogging you probably can't tell the difference
in quality nor are you likely to care.  For the few people with sufficient
equipment in the cars to actually tell the difference they probably know to
play the original CD's anyway.
