A big surprise was that on my first mp3 I > got 5.6mb to 2.8mb compression ... what other ogg qualities are there > besides 3? Maybe 4? Up to what? Up to 10. 4 is about 128kbs mp3, and since ogg is better, 3 while only 112 kbs sounds like a 128 kbs mp3. So, I use 3 since I don't have a large drive and I only have a 256MB card for my Zaurus. I suppose man oggenc will tell more about the quality, maybe check out the vorbis site. One reason it's hard to say is that the bitrate for oggs is variable. Anyplace I could find the full technical > specs of these qualities? (bitrate & stuff) ?

Yup, it waits until it's been encoded to wav and ogg before deleting. Just be careful if you leave your mp3's in the same directory after stopping it--when you run the script again it will find them and want to re-encode them. Glad it works for you :) Todd
