[vorbis] Ogg too good?

[Jonathan Walther]

I bought a 160G drive, and now I just save everything as flac, and THEN
encode it to ogg.  If I ever want to reencode my stuff, I can go back to
the original flac files, since they are lossless.

This approach costs about $0.70 per CD that can be stored on the disk.
Just about the same cost as a jewel case.  Saves a lot of space though
for cramped quarters where it may not be practical to put up a little CD
rack to hold your collection of 1000 or more CD's.

I'm paranoid that Ogg might get better... I don't want to be stuck with
old ugly sounding ogg's when I could reencode them to be better
sounding...
