That's true for older iPods, the newer models have practically no quality loss compared to average to good Computer Sound cards if one can believe a couple blind tests.
But yeah, "snowy kiss" has such a complex, full arrangement and tight mix that it was made for good speakers(or, even better: headphones). If you listen on anything but amazing speakers the reflection of the sound from all around you will make this particular track sound muffled when the mix is incredibly clear really. And headphones obviously get rid of the reflection problem entirely.
So as long as you don't have awful earphones/headphones.(hello Apple! Producing the worst earphones on the market but making them so "stylish" that everyone uses them and selling them with iPods to make sure everyone got a pair!)
