Also not sure about your assumption of loosing info twice. But the would of course be to re-rip lossless if the source is still at hand.

There are patents covering MP3 encoding and decoding. It is my understanding that the encoding patents are enforced quite strictly.

I think the point about lossy encoding and losing information twice is valid. I am trying to assess how much work would be required to add ogg/vorbis support to MinimServer. (Note: this should really be described as adding vorbis support rather than adding ogg support.) There are some unusual aspects of vorbis that make this somewhat tricky. As an example, computing the track duration (see this post) seems to require reading the entire file to locate the last page.
