>>You shouldn't do that. Converting mp3 to
   >>vorbis can ONLY decrease the quality.

No doubt the people who want to do this have the
sound file in no other usable format. They have
no choice. Since MP3 has legal issues, they may
very well stand to benefit from such a conversion
when there are no alternatives. No need to
criticize them for being in this predicament.

   >>It's a very bad idea.

A bit of an overstatement, perhaps. "Very bad" implies
system crashes, illegal activity, or similar.
