Thanks for reporting this little gem. It takes a little bit of
screwing with prerequisites on a non-gnome distribution (sidux in my
case), but the result is superb. I can detect no difference in quality
between the original ogg file and the mp3.

You need perl XML::parse, python-ttk2 and gnome-gtk2.

And, of course, it's not a deb - ./configure. make, make install.
