   Without great speakers, you won't notice much of a difference between a   
   128kbps MP3 and a 320kbps one. However, it is very noticeable when there   
   are lots of instruments playing simultaneously. The high compression makes   
   it difficult to discern between drums, guitars and general noise.

   Many car stereos support it. Nevertheless, most people nowadays would   
   stream the music from a phone onto the car's stereo. If it's an Android   
   phone, it supports Vorbis out of the box. That said, Vorbis has a better   
   overall sound than MP3 unless the latter is compressed with the LAME   
   encoder.
