The article mentions how deeply compressed the files we played were back then, but I'm pretty sure nowadays it's even worse.

Not at all. Any song on youtube uploaded in the last 5-10 years is as good as a 320 kbit mp3. Why would it be with the bandwidth anyone has to today?

Even limiting the scope to MP3 at the same bitrates modern encoders are much better than what we had back in the 90s.
