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...
