It also depends on the quality of the original MP3s - personally I can hear 'artifacts' in music ripped up to about 220kbps. If you ripped them at 160kbps then I wouldn't suggest getting decent speakers or headphones in teh future, because those converted files are going to start to sound really, really ropey
My best advice would be, if you don't have a *very* good reason to convert them, then leave them as MP3s and just start ripping new stuff to decent bit-rate ogg as you get new material.
