1) mp3s are full bandwidth.
2) playback is not compressed. You're confusing audio compression with
data compression.
Your amp, speakers and ears are lossy as well. What do you do, eat your CDs
and digest the data directly? Got a USB port on your tummy to which you
download the data?
There's a point when the MP3 format's loss is inaudible. The only noise and
distortion I hear nowadays from MP3 are from the whining of anal purists.
