Both mp3 and ogg remove information from the original that they claimm
the human ear cannot hear. However, apparently they remove *different*
information, and the sum of both removals is, I am told, something the
human ear *can* hear.
So don't do that. Don't convert mp3 to ogg.
But acquiring new music in ogg format is fine, as long as it hasn't been
converted from mp3 before you get it, of course,
