The problem is almost definitely with gstreamer or the audio setup on 
your computer.  Download an MP3 from somewhere and try playing it in 
Totem.  If the quality still sucks you know it's not anything to do with 
Banshee, your iPod or anything in between.  :-)  In that case, start 
asking Fedora users how to diagnose your problem.

Best of luck,
