Convertion Tool?

[thefish8]

Can anyone recommend a good, easy to use tool to convert files form .ogg to .mp3?

dbpoweramp... but you'll lose a lot of sound quality going from one lossy format to another, and ogg sounds better at the same bitrate anyway.

Then if the quality gets reduced, how would I go about playing .ogg files on my mp3 player in my car and in my minidisc player? Is there a way?

If your player doesn't support ogg, you'd have to get a new one to play them, which is probably out of the question. I'd say go ahead with converting them. It won't sound horrible, but if you have a quality source and speakers it may be noticeable. You can minimize the quality loss by converting to higher bitrate mp3s.

I ripped my collection to high quality ogg, then have a script to exercise ogg2mp3 to create mp3 for CD or my portable player. They sound fine to me, but I'm no audiophile.
