RE: Google music, comparing FLAC uploads that get converted to 320 MP3 to label supplied 320 streams

There are different MP3 encoders and there are different settings available for particular encoders. There are also things that a good mastering engineer can do to improve the quality of MP3 encoding, including things such as starting with 24 bit masters (possibly at higher sample rates) and ensuring that there is sufficient head room.

The link below discusses AAC but many of the issues are the same for the earlier MP3 lossy CODEC.
