If the other 2 weren't MP3, what were they?
Bitrate determines the quality and size of the MP3. The lower the bitrate, the less space an MP3 will take up and the easier it would be to stream; but the quality will not be as good as if the same song was encoded at a higher bitrate. 128kbps is typical, but it takes at the very least 160kbps for an MP3 to really be CD-quality.
Sound depth is just what it is. CD-quality is 44kHz, whereas most online radio stations that you can listen to on a dialup modem are 22kHz. 22kHz generally sounds less clear than 44kHz.
