Ogg would not be a good alternative since it is a lossy format (meaning
that you lose data). But maybe that doesn't matter because maybe you can
not notice.
You could just rip to WAV in the first place. Or consider using FLAC, the
Free Lossless Audio Codec.
I do use Ogg Vorbis myself and I use the ogg123 player. But now I wish I
used FLAC instead when I originally saved various audios.
I haven't looked yet ... anyone want to share examples of file sizes when
converting to Ogg Vorbis versus FLAC?
