I probably should have been more explicit: converting from OGGs to MP3
solely for use on this device. In other words, converting on-the-fly as
I copy to it (or rather, to the SD card), retaining the original OGGs.
It's a workaround. Yes, it won't be perfect but I mostly use the mp3
player mounted on the handlebars of my bike and playing through an FM
transmitter to a shitty handlbar-mounted radio. I don't think I'll
notice the loss of quality in that environment.
