Remember: when moving from a lossless format (WAV) to a lossy format
(ogg , mp3), you throw away a lot of data.  transcoding to another lossy
format will further degrade the audio.

Recommendation: transcode to another, better lossless format, or to the
final lossy format.

WAV -> FLAC (archive)
WAV -> mp3 or ogg to save space

Since FLAC is lossless, you can transcode to a lossy format without
degrading the audio.
