Why the intermediate format?  Ogg vorbis is a lossy format similar to MP3.  
Generally speaking, you don't want to go to a lossy format and then convert 
again to another format.  If you want lossless, FLAC (or AAC Lossless).  If you 
don't want lossless, MP3 or AAC.  'Course there's nothing wrong with OGG 
Vorbis, but it's not as common, so you won't find quite the same universal 
compatibility in players.

Why is this a question?  There's nothing special or unique about android audio 
players...  The question is not really about audio format android compatibility 
... it's just audio formats in general.  If you want what's mainstream, skip 
the intermediate format, and rip directly to FLAC or AAC or MP3.  If your 
ripper limits you to OGG Vorbis for some reason, just find a player that can 
play it.
