I have a large number of music files (17 gig worth...yes, for all prying

Not that I want to...but between a teenager with an iphone and being saddled
with cell phone that won't play .ogg...well, you get the picture.
What is the best way to do this? I would prefer a CLI option that I can run
in the background, but I want to save as much sound quality as I can with
the transfer...
You may want to consider this conversion, not as a way to replace your
Ogg collection with an MP3 collection, but just as a way to get
a specialized version of your collection for some particular devices.
My main collection is in Flac format, but I convert it to Ogg(96kb/s)
before uploading it to my "MP3" player, since Flac would take up too
much space. The quality is not as high, but given the circumstances in
which I listen to it, I can't really tell the difference.
As for the conversion, I use the script below.
<script cut>
This looks great...just to make sure...I can use it to convert my oggs
to mp3 on the fly? Just point it to a directory and pipe it to a
destination and I have my mp3s?
Forgive my ignorance concerning scripts, but I haven't written one since
DOS 6.2...
