<p>I would not recomment do transfer anything from one lossy format to another lossy format. The result will always be even lossier.</p><p></p><p>Apart from that, ffmpeg should do the trick, shouldn't it?<br></p><p>Look for it in with Synaptics.</p>
<p>When you installed it, open a console, cd to a folder with ogg files, then type:</p><p><font face="courier new,monospace">ffmpeg -i *.ogg *.mp3</font></p><p>This converts them all in one easy command.</p><p>Of course you can convert them one by one:</p>
<p><font face="courier new,monospace">ffmpeg -i OldName.ogg NewName.mp3</font></p><p>or</p><p><font face="courier new,monospace">f</font><font face="courier new,monospace">fmpeg -i MySong.ogg MySong.mp3</font></p><p>The original ogg files will not be deleted. After the command, you will have your ogg files and yout mp3 files.</p>
<p>Maybe you can do like this too, but I didn't try it myself:</p><p><font face="courier new,monospace">mkdir ConvertedSongs<br>ffmpeg -i *.ogg ConvertedSongs/*.mp3</font></p><p>J.R.</p><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/8 Noah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:admin2@enabled.com">admin2@enabled.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi there,<br>
<br>
I am hoping somebody on the list can recommend a command line based<br>
program that can transform ogg format files to mp3 format?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
