Come on, the political reasons are important reasons to use ogg vorbis. ogg vorbis is also of better quality. Converting from a lower quality mp3 to ogg vorbis won’t improve the quality though.

by the way i’m converting due to the fact nobody supports mp3 in the gnu/linux world… it’s annoying to be flying and realize that the computer you brought with a fresh copy of the os doesn’t have mp3 playback. i don’t blame the distributions- i blame those distributing in mp3 format. i end up having to convert to avoid that ugly situation. thats why i’m doing it now.

mp3 is patented, but it doesn’t mean you (as end user) have to pay for it. mpg123 decoder is open source. Lame encoder is under GPL, too. there are issues if you are going to include mp3 encoding/decoding in your distribution, that’s true.

There’s no reason to convert your mp3s to ogg, but the political ones. mp3 and ogg use different psychoacoustic models, and you’ll lose quality. And there’s definitely to point in –quality=10 when converting from mp3, there won’t be any difference between 10, 9, 8 and maybe even 7, no matter what bitrate mp3 had.
