 |

My mp3 player doesn't see ogg files.
Is there an easy to use program that can bulk convert 100+ ogg files at a time to mp3?

It's never a particularly good idea to re-encode compressed files, but if you must then SoundConverter (or SoundKonverter for KDE users) can do the job on a file or folder basis. How long it takes will depend on how fast your computer is.
Cue someone with a way to do it from the command line...

| Code: | | cd /directory/containing/ogg/files |
then
| Code: | | for name in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$name" "$(basename "$name" .ogg).mp3"; done |
ffmpeg defaults to a bitrate of 64k .. so if you want a higher bitrate (say 128k), make that:
| Code: | | for name in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$name" -ab 128k "$(basename "$name" .ogg).mp3"; done |

No need to use basename, shells can do the extension replacement themselves
| Code: | | "${name/.ogg/.mp3}" |
which also avoids the problem of the unbalanced, nested quoted, which really need to be escaped. You also have the probem of ffmpeg losing all the ID data. Sound[CK]onverter is probably the best option.

Nice 
How about:
| Code: | | for name in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$name" -ab 128k -map_meta_data 0:0,s0 "${name/.ogg/.mp3}"; done; |
which seems to keep the metadata.

That should do it, I hadn't see the map_metadata option before.

Think this should be moved to the Tips section...
