Simple answer: YES. Save the original files on the second session of your audio CD (i.e., like a CD-Extra) so you don't have to recompress the MP3 files later. Every time you transcode (i.e., compress an already compressed signal), you lose quality.

If you need more info as to why this occurs, use the "search" function and look for "transcoding."
