Try using the following command in the CLI: for i in *.ogg; do [[ ! -a "${i%ogg}mp3" ]] && oggdec "$i" -o - | lame - --preset standard - "${i%ogg}mp3" ; done Haven't tried it myself, but got if off the Ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-299969.html. You'll obvously have to have lame and oggdec installed. Alternatively use ffmpeg: ls *.ogg | while read file; do echo $file ffmpeg -i "$file" -acodec mp3 "$file"\.mp3 done - -- Many thanks Harry Rickards (GPG Key ID:646ED06A) - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/GCM/GCS/GCC/GIT/GM d? s: a?
