I don't know how to do it, but I have heard that mp3 and ogg each accomplish their 
compression in part by suppressing information that human hearing can detect.  But, so 
I have been told, the suppress different information, and if you suppress *both* sets 
of separately inaudible data, the combination *is* audible.  So if you succeed, give 
it an ear test before you discard your old mp3's.
