How about:<br><br>for f in `find /my/mp3/directory | grep .mp3$`; <br> do mpg321 $f -w raw && oggenc raw -o `echo $f | sed -e 's/.mp3$/.ogg/'`;<br>done<br><br>or something? (Completely untested, but just an idea). Should be able to leave it and you'll come back to a load of ogg files in with your mp3 files. Of course if you want to use a new tree I guess you could do...<br>
<br>for f in `find /my/mp3/directory | grep .mp3$`; <br>
do mpg321 $f -w raw && oggenc raw -o `echo $f | sed -e 's/mp3\/directory/ogg\/directory/ -e 's/.mp3$/.ogg/'`;<br>
done<br><br>(where /my/mp3/directory is your mp3 music root and /my/ogg/directory is your ogg music root)<br><br>I'm sure I did something like that back in the past, but then ended up just re-ripping them all from CDs so I could avoid lossy-to-lossy conversion.<br>

I'm trying to convert my mp3 collection to ogg, I've managed to do a few using Oggconvert <a href="http://oggconvert.tristanb.net/" target="_blank">http://oggconvert.tristanb.net/</a>.
<br><br>I'm happy enough that I'm not losing too much quality wise by
converting from one format to another but it's a little slow because it
seems to only be able to do one file at a time. <br><br>Can anybody
recommend a program that will do a folder of files or even crawl my
music folder and convert everything while I leave it to it? Preferably looking for something that will leave the originals intact in case of any hiccups before I've checked them out.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Simo.<br>
