RTFA! The article is about how modern records dynamic range is severely compressed to make it sound good on shitty equipment such as with typical iPod ear phones or car radios.
In other words: Modern records sound good in the car but crap on $1000 and up equipment (real Hi-Fi).
The subtitle has "MP3" in it but it ain't about that bro!
Dude, you should let me be your slashdot dupe checker. I'm pretty confident that this was on Slashdot the last time it happened. I was a bit impressed by this guys contraptions so I guess I remember the URL, here you go.

Yes, "iPod earphones" was just the parrot speaking. Earphones give a lot of bang for the buck (the car is a valid argument though).

The article however was not about MP3 compression but rather dynamic range compression used when mastering CDs
