GUI -> SoundKonverter

Command line oggdec for ogg to wav, then lame for wav to mp3
or edit this script I used to use before I got k3b

#!/bin/bash

for i in ./*.ogg; do sox -V ${i//ogg/ogg} ${i//ogg/cdr}; done

cdrecord -v speed=10 dev=/dev/hdc 
driveropts=burnfree -dao -pad -overburn -audio ./*.cdr

rm *.cdr


Be aware that lossy ogg to lossy mp3 will further degrade the sound quality.  
I wanted to do this for loading ogg files into my iPod and found the best 
solution was the transcode script.  This script converts ogg and flac files 
to aac on the fly while loading the iPod without disturbing the original 
file.  That way you still retain the better quality original file on your HD.
