The quality won't be questionable- it will be terrible. Especially if
the ogg was quality 6 or under, and especially especially if you are
trying to creat a 128mbs mp3. Why do you want to convert? Ogg players
are available for every major operating system and portable ogg
players are common. Do you happen to have a portable mp3 play that
won't play oggs? DId you complain to the manufacturer that he pays for
mp3 support, and won't include free ogg support? If you don't let the
manufactures know that you want a product then they won't provide it.
