There is no good way to convert mp3 to vorbis. The resulting file will retain all the artifacts in the mp3 file, and add vorbis artifacts as well (which are more subtle than mp3, but no less real). If you have the original source material for an mp3 file, the best thing to do is encode that to vorbis. This can be somewhat inconvenient if it requires re-ripping a CD, but the resulting vorbis file will sound much better. If you really must convert mp3 to vorbis, the only way is to decode the mp3 to .wav, then encode the .wav to vorbis. The .wav may live in a temporary file or might just be in a pipe, but the effect is the same either way. There aren't any shortcuts possible, according to the vorbis developers, because mp3 and vorbis are too different. Craig
