Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mp3 to Ogg Conversion
Converting between 2 lossy formats loses quality. If you converted MP3>FLAC, you'd get the same quality as the original MP3, but it would take up about 10x as much space. Or even better, re-rip everything as ogg vorbis. On 18/12/2007, Stuart Bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All > > I have a large music collection which is probably 95% mp3 format.

[ubuntu-uk] Mp3 to Ogg Conversion
Hi All I have a large music collection which is probably 95% mp3 format. I would like to move it all to an open format such as Ogg Vorbis (or any other alternatives that I am unaware of). So I have a couple of questions: Are there any tools that will help me achieve this? Will there be any sound quality reduction as a result of the conversions? I'm vaguely aware of lossy, lossless issues but not really that clued up on audio formats and any issues that they have with each other. I would therefore appreciate any information before I start. My collection runs to nearly 160 Gb so starting from scratch would not really be an option unless absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance. Stu __ Sent from Yahoo!
