The problem with MP3 is that it is a lossy format, which means that some information is lost after the file compression takes place. When you then export with MP3 quality sound, it's going to re-encode that audio and further reduce that sound quality. You are better off using a high quality uncompressed audio file (WAV or AIFF) before encoding to MP3. Quicktime itself might offer more options also.
