Does this return something pleasant to listen to?

Because the various audio compression schemes all throw away some data, and 
rarely does it match, I've found that going to mp3 from ogg (or vice-versa) 
usually returns a muddy sound that becomes tiresome to listen to, quickly.  
For the ear fatigue factor, I long ago found ogg, at about q7, was the best 
for me.  An mp3, ripped from the same cd, at the same final file size, gets 
tiresome, with an urge to turn it down developing in just a few minutes.
