Thanks everyone for the info:

<Yes. Going from one lossy format to a different lossy format where each
 
loses a different bit of the audio spectrum.>

I take it the difference would not be noticed too much by a tone deaf, music loving grunt such as myself then?

Another factor is (I could probably get this from Google but may as well ask now I am here) will the ogg files play on my iPod?

Yes. Going from one lossy format to a different lossy format where each
 
loses a different bit of the audio spectrum.

Guess it depends how much of an audiophile you are.
