$ find $HOME/mp3 -name '*.mp3' -exec mp3toogg {} \;

...assuming you have a script that takes the name of an mp3 file and generates
an ogg from it.

If the script takes a list of files, then you can also do it like this:

$ mp3toogg `find $HOME/mp3 -name '*.mp3' -print`

Be careful you use the correct quotes for either of these.

Cheers,
