Seriously, there could be some limitations depending on your view.
1. You're going lossy to lossy so quality will be degraded
2. You *may* lose ID3 tags
3. Depending on how many mp3's you have, it could take a loooong time
Google for mp32ogg and see what you come up with.
yes, but that program only does 1 file at a time .. I'm talking about
batch converting everything. I'd be willing maybe to accept the losses :)
OK, here you go. As an added bonus, it keeps ID3 tags. Requires mpg123
to convert to wav, mp3info to read id3 tags, and of course oggenc.

wow!!!!!!!! thanks!!! I'm off to trying out to see if this script does
the recursion too :) thanks a lot!
