Today I'm going to talk about why software - any software, all software - actually matters, what the different types of software are, and why you should care about its properties (no matter who you are, or what you do).

"is there a program for Linux which does "batch conversion" from MP3 to Ogg?"
I wouldn't recommend converting mp3 to ogg. Both are lossy compression formats, meaning some of the sound quality is lost. So converting mp3 to ogg will result in even worse sound quality. You basically end up getting tho worst from both mp3 and ogg. When you're ripping cd's, ogg vorbis is probably a better choice than mp3, though (quality wise).
"Does Ogg support ID3 tags?"
If I'm not mistaking, ogg vorbis has it's own way of storing artist and track name etc in the file. I don't think any programs capable of playing ogg, have trouble reading/writing the info, though.
