How to convert MP3 to OGG or convert OGG to MP3?

What is OGG?
Ogg is a free, open standard container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The creators of the Ogg format claim that it is unrestricted by software patents and is designed to provide for efficient streaming and manipulation of high quality digital multimedia. It is typically used to encode content found freely available on the Internet to improve the streaming quality of the content. The Xiph.Org Foundation put together the specifications for the open standard hoping to create a patent free method for encoding media. When using the ogg file format, a decent sampling rate is around 96kbits, a 96kbit ogg file is comparable to a 160kbit MP3 file. The compression is much better, allowing smaller file sizes and better quality files. Today, there are some mainstream players that will accept the ogg file format, such as iTunes, iMovie, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player.
