This is not what the book means, it's relatively old and basic. Let me 
explain what I see as the core idea of this paragraph:
Perceptual coders remove certain parts of the original recording and that 
lets the music get better reproduced by playback systems. The original 
recording sounds worse than the compressed music because those parts that 
otherwise get removed  make it harder for the playback system to reproduce 
the music.
