It's been the case in Debian for a while that rippers don't make MP3s.

Ogg Vorbis is a superior format. MP3 is lossy as it clips the music to
earphone frequencies ( 20 - 20k hz ). As well as not clipping the sound
Ogg Vorbis compresses the file more than MP3 at the same sample rate,
it means you get more tunes for your megabyte.

For a graphical demo of the difference fire up XMMS with a GL spectrum
analyser, MP3s are clipped at either end of the graph, ogg files aren't
