Are you converting using the exact same bitrate for the OGG and MP3???
If you are, you're not going to see a difference!! 128kbps is going to give you the same size file no matter what file format you choose.
The idea behind OGG is that you can convert your music to a LOWER bitrate and get the same audio quality.
BUT, I wouldn't recommend converting from MP3 to OGG, because MP3 and OGG are both lossy compression formats which means that your resulting OGG file would have gone through at least 2 stages of compression.
Rip from you original source to the OGG format. I personally rip to 64kbps and hear very little difference in comparison to 128kbps MP3.
BTW, why are you posting this question in the SonyEricsson forum??

kbps = kilobits per second so... D'OH you aren't going to see any difference
it kind of speaks for itself.
