        Yeah, now with CD'n'Go (A prog I got from the Vorbis Download page) 
I can encode them with Vorbis but I also use the Gogo.dll encoder 
with it to make comparaisons.  Actually, Gogo MP3s are not as bad as 
Xing MP3s...  Almost as good as Vorbis.

        Of course, in fact there's still about half his collection still in 
MP3 because he doesn't have the original CDs.
