Only of you use too little bits per sample, or too little samples.

Theoretically, but for an exact representation you need infinite bits per sample(, and infinite samples?). Analogue signals can't be quantified.

Not in the form of sampling, no. Granted, I don't know if anyone working with sound in a digital context works with anything other than sampled analog.
lol, anyone a kindergarden song lover here? xD
I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

That's exactly what I'm implying. Digital music will never be as accurate as analogue music. As for digital sound quality, you need a lot more than a 7MB .mp3 file to achieve good sound. I don't know what CDs actually contain (or how their digital representation of the recording is done), but Vinyl probably has the best precision - at least it has the best quality output.
