Regarding the converting of MP3s to OGG Vorbis audio files... don't.  I
know keeping MP3s around kinda goes against the ethos and spirit of
FLOSS, but if you care about audio quality then you'll re-rip the audio
and store as either FLAC or OGG-Vorbis.  Converting from one lossy
format to another lossy format is just a recipe for poor audio quality
files as an end result.
