Me too.
I have the opposite problem. Everything I have is in ogg format. But
sometimes I want to play on a device that doesn't understand ogg and
can only play mp3 format. I simply convert the file to .wav format
and then encode it again to mp3. You could do something similar.

I would convert it in place. I don't think there needs to be a copy
of the original files made.

I would also use find but would use -execdir along those lines. I
would write a short script taht did:
ffmpeg -I file1.mp3 file1.wav
oggenc file1.wav -o file1.ogg
rm -f file1.wav
And then call that from find.
find . -name '*.mp3' -execdir scriptit {} \;
Unfortunately the tags don't transfer one to one. Have you looked at
the tags available (or that you have used, or not used) in your mp3
files? And then look at the tags available in ogg format. It isn't a
one-to-one lineup. It isn't the end of the world but you should look
at that part of things and decide what you want to do there.
