does windows compress my music downloads?

I am a new as far as music downloads off the internet.  Naturally I want high quality. I have been reading about higher bit rates, DSD, FLAC etc..If I download the music onto my computer what program should I use to download it to. Windows has a music program called "Groove" but there is no disclosure about bit rates etc...it just says download your MP3 files...
What program do you use to preserve the quality?.
thanks

Thanks Mapman for an answer,
Very well may start ripping favorite CD's soon.
I am seriously looking at the Sony HAP-Z1 ES as a convenient way to listen to downloads.
