You are quite right thinking to the future. I'm finding myself in this very predicament right now: we've installed a new CD / CDR / MP3 player in the car (had a TAPE DECK up to now :-))) Some while ago I switched to the .ogg format for compression, in preference to MP3's. Now that I want to make compilations for the car... I have to re-encode everything to MP3. Mostly I can do this directly from the original at 192 VBR, which is fine, but in some cases I have to decompress the OGG file to a .wav and then recompress to MP3. Talk about lossy...
