I am trying to find a freeware that will convert ogg to mp3 format. DOes this software have this facility or does it just chance the summary data attached to the file?

Mp3tag is only a tag editing software and does not provide any transcoding features. Please notice that transcoding from one lossy format (Vorbis) to another lossy format (MP3) will gain an additional quality loss.

Anyways, you could try [foobar2000](http://www.foobar2000.org) or [dBpowerAMP Music Converter](http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm).
