If you post _that_ _here_, you can't be anything but a TROLL
or a total moron, right?

To the original poster:

If you have the original WAV or CD's from which you encoded the mp3's
you can use those and reencode from there and all should be ok. Perhaps
the vorbis-tools author can help you with the compiling problems.

If you _don't_ have them, don't throw away the mp3's. Trancoding
(decode mp3+encode vorbis) will leave you with a bunch of ogg files
that have both mp3 AND vorbis artifacts. The result tends to be
much worse than for example only the mp3 artifacts.
