Yes, it really depends a lot on the station as well. Some stream at higher bit-rates than others. Some use MP3 encoding while others use AAC. I find that AAC streams sound better at a given bit-rate.
As an example, some stations offer the listener a choice between 64Kbps AAC and 64Kbps MP3. The AAC stream will sound better. Some stations stream at higher bit-rates that can approach FM broadcast quality but to my ears they're not quite there. Unfortunately though, most are not too concerned with streaming audio quality so they use lower bit-rates to conserve bandwidth.
