you should convert them all to Ogg Vorbis

The only problem with converting MP3 to Ogg is you are going from one lossy compression to another. The quality would be even lower than the MP3. To do it right you would have to re-rip from original directly to Ogg which should produce a better-than-MP3 quality audio file.

Some Slashdot folk said that if you encode it at a higher bit-rate, it sounds about the same. I don't know if this is true, though.

I wouldn't be one to tell. My hearing has been going steadily since the my F-16 Crew Chief days. I have a constant ringing in my ears.

personally what ive found best fixes* mp3's is too use a gain of-5db at 12,000khz and a gain of -2db at 1,200 khz. if you want a good thump you should use a gain of +5db at 100hz for boom look to the 50hz region.

Thanks for the info! A few questions:

Isin't 12,000Khz very high? I mean, the XMMS eq has 1KHZ,3KHZ,6KHZ,12KHZ,14KHZ and 16KZ. How is it possible to reach the 12,000Khz and 1,200Khz mark?

Were you refering to an external audio amplifier or something? I want to do this via software guys!

thanks,
