I agree on that, yay for ogg. But
going from a lossy to another lossy a

May I kindly and humbly suggest that people
posting on LAU as links
to 'straight' mp3 files also provide a link to a file in OGG format?
IMHO it makes sense given the nature of the list and the better
experience for readers/listeners and it only really takes very little
effort [1]

[1] Example using oggenc (in the vorbis-tools package on debian-based
distros).
If you have the original wave file (better):
oggenc -q 9 my_file.wav #will create my_file.ogg use -o option to
save to another file. See man oggenc for many more options
If you only have an mp3 version (also requires lame):
FILE=my_file; lame --decode $FILE.mp3 /tmp/$FILE.wav && oggenc -q 9
/tmp/$FILE.wav -o ./$FILE.ogg
# replace my_file at the beginning with the filename of the mp3 file
withut extension
# could be done without the temporary wave file through raw pipes
but one must know sampling rate, bitrate and channels of the file

Hear hear on posting ogg files.
However transcoding lossy formats is not really optimal.
