If the aim is to convert ogg files for use on an iPod you should
convert them to AAC with something like Max or Switch. You can get
away with lower bitrates with AAC than with mp3, though you will still
lose some quality in the transcoding it won't be as bad with AAC.

Hi Will,
If you've managed to import the file into iTunes, you should be able
to find it by looking at the "Recently Added" smart playlist. You're
better off keeping these as ogg files for playing, since changing to
mp3 means converting from one lossy format to another and downgrade
your music quality. If your aim is to convert ogg files to mp3
format rather than simply play them, you might be better off using
another program to perform the conversion before adding the files to
your iTunes library. I don't use ogg files, but I might take a look
at a program like Max if I were trying to convert to mp3:

I suspect this might do a better job.
Cheers,

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
