I have a turn table which has the ability to convert vinyl to MP3. While I have never used this feature myself, MP3 is a lossy format which means that it compresses and loses quality for the sake of a smaller file size. The highest bit rate of MP3 that I can think of (320) is, I think, something like close to a third of CD quality. As such, there's a significant loss in quality, though it seems that most people don't really notice.
