Yup, go back to your CDs and re-rip them. If you don't do this, then
you'll be applying a second compression algorithm on top of a (horrible)
compression algorithm. Worse, MP3 applies "sound shaping" (my term, but
xref the usual sources for more info), so it has removed data, which you
can't get back, obviously. It will sound terrible.
That said, I can't listen to MP3 because of the way it mangles audio, so
YMMV. I find ogg much less offensive ;-) In fact, it's pretty good.
