Hi:

I think the problem confuse the motivation of the insdustry, the
developers, and the end-users.

Yes, re-encoding from Mp3 to Ogg "can't improve the quality. It wouldn't
improve seamless playback. It wouldn't improve the tagging and it wouldn't
improve the patent situation.". But the only thing of this that a end-user
take care is the first. And, one of you says, a Ogg file of a small size
can have a similar quality of the original Mp3. Actually, the quality will
be poor, but in a $10 speakers noone can tell the difference.

So, we don't need it, but is good take a look of the posibilities. Remember
the posible inclusion of Monkey's Audio on the specification of Ogg. Lossy
and lossless compression in the same package... nice!
