@fouline
Also try dBPower AMP
www.dbpoweramp.com
It is free and excellent. But you must go to
http://download.cnet.com and read the reviews because apparently the older version is much better than the latest version. And certain elements in the older version that were free now require a fee.
dBPower AMP converts almost everyone of the well known file formats including MP3 and Ogg.
And yes, Ogg does give a similar sound qaulity to MP3 at lower bitrate/smaller file size.
As for using WMA I have never and will never use it. And I wouldn't recommend anyone using it. Microsoft are notorius for their dodgy business practises so I will not use the WMA format produced by them - they have enough domination in the market without giving them more. And the methods they used to bring the WMA file format to market is just another example of their bullying business practice.

dont convert from mp3 to ogg
you will lose quite a lot of quality
the best thing to do is to re-rip your cd's to ogg files
(its because both formats "lose" certain bits of data when they encode........so if you rip the cd's to mp3, it loses some information during the compression........if you then CONVERT to a different format, it will lose different parts of information, thus it will sound crap)
if your goal is to get decent quality audio with small files..........re-rip your cd's rather than converting

But what if (god forbid) we only have the mp3s?
. If the mp3 is 192kbps (CD quality) and you want to convert it to ogg, you can go straight right?

Hey guy thank for the info. But i am having problem playing ogg on the phone. I trie it using realplayer, but realplayer was only able to locate the mp3 and not the ogg that i had. Then i trie using oggplayer and still wasnt able to play it. Oh btw Iuse that monkie program to convert a mp3 to ogg as a test, after the program finish converting it a 5.9mb mp3 was 2.5 ogg and was able to play it on the computer. But when I transfer it to the p800 I couldnt put it on audio, I had to put it on document plus the ogg file icon have a paper with a question mark, maybethiscould be the problem?

@ jnmigr: If you have OggPlayer on your phone already, open it, select "OggPlay" menu, select "Find new files..", and it will locate all ogg format files. Then you can play.

If you have installed your OGG files correctly, Example install your OGG files into your document folder on your phone.
As said previously open OGGPlay and select "find new files" from the menu..this should do the trick.

@Jim, No MP3 isn`t freeware!! thats why MP3`s are everywhere and OGG is hardly heard of!
Hopefully someone can come and elaborate on this
