[plug] Prefered Music Format

I currently have lots of CD's ripped in MP3 format (from my Windoz days)
I converted a CD worth of MP3's to OGG and discovered that every single 
song increased in size (20-30% increase)
I used mp32ogg (Debian, mp32ogg=0.11-3) which gets its quality settings 
from the mp3, the ogg's appear to have VBR's[1] varying between 100 and 
200 while the originals are all FBRs[2].

What should I use then? I mainly listen to the music on my computer or 
jukebox with xmms, madplay, or mpg321. I can easily change over to ogg's 
but is the increased file size worth it? I can't hear any quality 
differences.
