Why do you have to stop? You already have one. Keep using it until you
don't need it anymore. In the meantime, gradually re-rip/encode your CDs
one by one.

Maybe, but I think lots of people will have to convert mp3 to vorbis if mp3
decoder dispear from Debian.
mp32ogg is the way to help us.
But I still don't understand how we can have mp32ogg if mp3 decoders
disappear from debian, since presumably one must decode the mp3 in order
to convert it

No they won't, they can keep their favourite mp3 player installed even though
dselect will list it as obsolete, and it will keep working. We

In particular, it's important to note that transcoded MP3's, even
_legally_ transcoded MP3's, should never ever ever be distributed, lest
people associate the degradation in quality (even if it's something most
people can't hear) with a problem in vorbis.

Regardless of the quality issues, the audio-mp3-ogg encoding process
that this does still includes the mp3 process, which is patented. This
means, since Ogg is deterministic, as is MP3, it's probably very easy
for someone (say, Thomson) to prove a given Ogg was once an MP3. Once
they can prove
