When you reencode MP3s, you will get twice the artefacts. But 
that's the same with Ogg. :o(

The problem can be avoided, though:

 * When you burn an audio CD from MP3s or Oggs, create a data
   track containing the original compressed files. This way,
   there will be no need to reencode the tracks, later.

 * Also, when you borrow a CD, do not just make Oggs from it,
   but also keep a 1:1 copy. Keep in mind that Ogg is not a
   replacement for CDDA but a way to reduce data.

Thomas
