Load up iTunes, go to "Edit" and then "Preferences." Then click on the "Advanced" tab, and then "Importing." On the quality setting, make sure it is set to Higher Quality (256kbps)

This should improve the quality of the music you import from CDs.

Do you have EQ settings on? Check in the settings and turn it off if any are on. See if the sound quality still veries.

As mentioned above, the setting you're using to rip them will affect it.

Also, might be worth reading through this ...

Maybe if you are using MP3 files, but I must admit that I find 128kbps perfect if they are AAC files (can't tell the diffrence anything over that and I have a good ear and am fussy - there is still a very minor diffrence from the origional CD, but anything 128mbps or over on the AAC files makes no diffrence).

If it's on MP3 then I would go for 192mbps at the very lowest.
