I’ve got a question about sound.

When I stream an MP3 the quality suffers tremendously. Is there a way to stream an MP3 but keep the quality at 100% or similarly close? Or would this be defeating the purpose of streaming?

When I click on the “Properties” of the mp3 in the library, I have several “quality settings” to choose from. These don’t seem to affect the sound file when it’s streaming. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
