I've converted the few mp3's I originally had...there might be some 
degradation,
but none that I can notice by ear. It could be that the script identifies
all the information in an mp3 file and just translates that just as you 
might
translate a book. If it does this there'd be next to no degradation at all.

Cheers,
Daniel.
