This isn't possible pe-sae, but what some cd players can do is
playback wav files, the fileformat that is used in Audio-Cd's is aprox
192kbs.
Most Cd players have that transfer rate hardwired into their programming. 
im afraid the only real way to playback wav's is on either a modified
CD player, a Dvd player..
Of course the best audio quality comes from LP's..although they are
slightly more difficult to create, and get scratched easier if you
dont use one of the new laser reading LP systems
Also it should be noted, that even if you convert the mp3's to wav's
or cd audio to wav's the compression has already taken place, you
cannot create data that has already been erased in the compression
process.

another point to note, most mp3 players now, i think Aireo..have a
product which can play Wav files and transmit the data over an FM
radio wave, this would provide almost the same effect as an analogue
recording.

You can burn .wav files to a cd though, as a data format. if you have
a newish cd player, it may be able to read mp3 files, there for wav
and ogg
