Out front, let me say that I love Ogg-Vorbis, but my car audio player and home DVD player prefer mp3s, so I am looking at converting my 10GBs of oggs into mp3s.

My question is how to best do it, without ripping the CDs a second time.

With the help of a Higher Power. If the info has been "lost", then it is "lost" - no algorithm, no matter how funky, can get it back! You encoding (converting) to wav doesn't get any info back, just changes data format. The info lost first time stays lost. Reincoding from wav to mp3 is likely to even be WORSE than ogg2mp3, as this algorithm has been optimised for getting ogg to mp3 in the best way possible. If it were better to have an intermediate stage of wav then that is what this algorithm would do... If you really want just one loss then you will have to re-rip...

I am going to try to NOT use ogg2mp3 as to go from one lossy to another is way too lossy for me.

I am wondering if a better path would be to use oggdecode, and to pick up the wave file in mp3encode or lame.

Or is there a better way yet?
