What about Sonic Foundry's Siren?  There is a free version and .OGG 
support, and at least for .MP3 the quality of the encoding seems quite 
good; I have yet to test it for .OGG encoding.  Of course it is for Windows 
only as well as a bit bulky and awkward, and on the Mac - where I do most 
of my encoding - I have not explored the options.  Perhaps iTunes (nee 
SoundJam) could be convinced to evolve...
