Transcoding loses fidelity. Your songs will sound worse. Whether the quality difference matters to you more than filesize depends on your ears and your needs.

Llorean:
Basically, have you ever taken a photocopy of a photocopy? You notice how even though it's *basically* the same thing, there's those extra black specks here and there, and the edges aren't *quite* as sharp as they were before?

That's kinda similar. MP3 cuts out bits you can't hear to make the file smaller. OGG cuts out bits you can't hear to make the file smaller. They don't necessarily cut out the same bits.

Sinosec:
Yeah, I see about transcoding now. But I ran my own tests and I'm fine with the quality. I don't walk around with my music-- the Sansa just sits connected to our crappy system at work, or on my crappy car stereo. I doubt there will be any audible increase in crappienss when I transcode.

GodEater:
Sorry - so why are you transcoding ? What's wrong with the mp3s you already have ?

Sinosec:
The filesizes are cut in half with 96k OGG's. I double my storage.
