Do we can compress mp3 files without loosing sound quality?
In short: Practically NO.
MP3 is compressed music. Some music formats do compress better than MP3 like AAC etc. but are only marginally better.
Also you should not do Post-Processing on mp3's
i.e.do not try to compress mp3's, change format, change bit-rate etc. this will lead to drastic loss of quality.
Though there are other formats, today the de-facto standard is 128kbps (bitrate) MP3 for music, higher bit-rates are preferred upto a maximum of 320kbps.
If you have only mp3 files, forget about more compression.
On the other hand if you have audio CD's [non-mp3, the proper audio CD] then you can 'rip' them to a better format/bit rate.
NOTE:DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE FORMAT/BITRATE OF MP3 FILES, ANY CHANGES WILL LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF QUALITY. Even increasing bit-rate to 320kbps using 128kbps is useless. you cannot bring back information [or 'music'] that was destroyed while creating the original MP3, except by maybe making A.R. Rahaman sing again!! :) !!
The above fact about loss of quality is because MP3 is a LOSSY compression algorithm, it destroys information in compressing music, UNLIKE .ZIP etc. where you can 'UNCOMPRESS' there is no such thing for mp3.
