rob you're going to lose info if you don't rerip whatever you do, the way that ogg and mp3 compress audio is different in that although they both 'lose' sounds that are 'less important' they don't lose the same parts, this means that a wav decoded from an ogg has stuff missing compared to the original wav that the ogg was made from and an mp3 of the decoded wav will then lose a different set of info, your best bet is to make the highest quality mp3s you can from the oggs - space permitting - to cut down on the second lossy process
