We had that topic already, and the conclusion was that it's impossible.
One cannot convert MP3 to Ogg without reencoding. Therefore losing
another bunch of audio information and wasting bits on reproducing MP3
artifacts is inevitable.

Just leave your MP3s alone and encode your new stuff to Ogg from the
source, e.g. CDs.

To Arioch /BDV//: RC2 is outdated, get RC3 as soon as possible. It
sounds a lot better and you get rid of the stupid
set-quality-by-choosing-bitrate behavior.
