It's also worth pointing out that if you rip from CD to .ogg and then transcode back to another CD in redbook standard, you'll lose data quality twice through lossy encoding and the tracks will sound like crap. Rip either directly from one CD to another or re-rip the original tracks in a lossless format (flac, wav) first and then transcode to the new CD from there.
