[vorbis] just an idea about quality evaluation

Umm, ogg123?

I'm actually not kidding; I use a modified "run as a daemon and control with 
signals" ogg123 for my jukebox in my classroom at school.  Sometimes I get 
some music which is only available as an mp3 (the MiniBosses, for example), 
so I uncompress it and then go to ogg at q10.  It's stored on a largish hard 
drive, so the occasional huge file isn't an issue, but the format is.

Of course, I won't be handing out the transcoded files to tout the smaller 
size/higher quality of ogg. :)  Or actually handing out any oggs at all other 
than songs I compose myself.  I don't do "file sharing".
