The other day I converted a YouTube video into an MP3 file, loaded it into good ol’ VLC, and noticed that it sounded like complete crap - lots of compression artifacts, muddled mid-tones and just generally lacking in quality. I tried listening to the same file a little later, but instead of dragging it into VLC as I normally do I accidentally double-clicked it and it played in iTunes. The same file that earlier sounded like absolute garbage was now crisp and clear and fully listenable (if that is indeed a word - you know what I mean...)
I experimented with several other files and noticed the same thing - crap in VLC but just fine in iTunes. This tells me that it’s not an encoding problem but just a decoding issue. Is it possible to replace codecs in VLC, and if so, what’s a good sounding one for MP3s?

Doubt you can replace VLC codecs, instead you should update it, and then reset all settings to default, since you might’ve have bumped some of those.

Replace it (for audio playback) with Foobar 2000. Other than that, what Echo51 suggested.

Burn VLC to the ground, because it would never load the blu-ray codecs for me.
Or just uninstall and reinstall, make sure to not save settings, that should fix it.
