Um... you do realize that an mp3 ripped from vinyl is digital right? Of course it's going to sound crappy if you rip analog to mp3, you are compressing the sound. Imagine a wave. An analog recording is just a straight, completely solid line, whereas a compressed file would be dots along the wave; the higher the quality the more "dots" or samples there are.

I really don't think there's any debate that vinyl recordings sound better than any mp3 compression...
