Here is a link to a site with examples of multiple generation MD copying
loss.

As for recording mp3s to MD, I do it all the time. I've got most of my
CD collection on my hard drive in MP3 format at 160 kb/s (compromise
between size and quality) using the lame encoder. I make MDs to listen
to on my commute on the train to and from work. The sound is just fine,
since there is a lot of traffic and train noise. Even when I listen at
home, the degradation from 160 kb/s mp3 to MD isn't noticeable.
