As was pointed out, there are many factors influencing the eventual sonic outcome of different mp3 bitrates. Especially when playing from your soundcard. Compare the performance of Windows Media Player and WinAmp... or VLC, or Foobar. They definitely don't sound completely alike. The fact that you can't hear a difference between high-bitrate mp3 files and cd audio can also be testimony to the effectiveness of the format.
Perhaps you can do some more testing, selecting very different types of music, in order to find out whether there really isn't any difference. To my ears, its huge between for instance 160 and 320.
