Well, I am in the middle of the other way: oggs to mp3s. Cause oggs can't work with my new car stereo. The deal is that yes, you can use mp32ogg to convert them, but mp3 compression is lossy, and different than ogg compression, so you will have lossy^2 compression. I have done this with spoken word stuff, and its ok, but tunes will probably suffer. The best bet is to rip them all over again, then you will have less of each tune removed, and consequently better sounding audio. As for the script, I am a real scripting newbie, and have not learned to jump around folders yet. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
