Yes, MP3 removes frequencies differently between the left and right channels, and that damages the ability to remove the vocals that are center-panned; i.e. identical in both channels. When they are NOT identical, the difference between the channels will NOT be removed.
So, having the pristine original CD is always better than converting. However, in some cases, and it may be this way with ewiener, you don't have an original CD. With Apple Ipod/Itunes delivering MP3 files, and over 2 billion sold, CD's are becoming more a thing of the past.
