Issues with metadata converting mp3->ogg

I'm trying to convert mp3 files to ogg, but I found a problem: most or all of the metadata is disappearing after the conversion. Is there a way to keep it?

The userfriendly program soundconverter (Gnome Sound Converter) retains at least artist, title, album, comment and year(*) when converting to ogg.

The command line program sox retains at least artist, title, album and year(*), but apparently not comment.

sox xxx.mp3 xxx.ogg

(*) some programs may disagree if year is release time tag or recording time tag.

Try this:

id3cp -1 file.mp3 file.ogg

This should copy tags from mp3 file to the ogg one.
