Although MP3 does have some fundamental limitations that cannot be fixed no matter how much bitrate you throw at them (referring especially to the "Inoptimal window sizes" from https://web.archive.org/web/20120222124415/http://www.mp3-tech.org/content/?Mp3%20Limitations https://web.archive.org/web/20120222124415/http://www.mp3-te...). They're not dramatic issues, to be fair, but as long as you go for lossly compression, using a somewhat more modern codec like AAC or Opus would be preferable, unless you absolutely need the maximum compatibility afforded by MP3 (though these days at least AAC support should be pretty widespread, too, plus the patents on regular ["low complexity"] AAC have expired as well).
