  I added ogg support right after the mp3 entry on `system wide'
ectrntion rc file.

  You disabled the mp3 support because, you are sure you will
never get a mp3 sent to you by a friend and you will never
down load any mp3's again?

  I copied a 33kB wav file into a 27 kB ogg file, and I copied
the same wav file into a 3 kB mp3, I don't see any reason to
convert any of the mp3's in my collection to ogg format.
The losses that occurred in converting the audio to mp3 remains
lost after converting an mp3 to ogg, so there would be no
gain other than a size increase.
