Convert ogg to mp3 files?


I have a lot of music encoded as .ogg files that I'd love to be able to play in the mp3 player in my gf's car. The player only recognizes .mp3 format. Whats the best way to convert ogg to mp3? A google search turns up alot of tools for converting mp3 to ogg but not the reverse.

Code:
man lame
man ogg123

Cheers,

So as long as Im using !133t Im safe from that label?

I think its supposed to be 1337 anyway

EDIT:
That didnt work. Just got output files with a bunch of static. Thanks for the pointer though. Now I know how to do ogg->wav->mp3.

Just had to add:

w00t! w00t! w00t!

Nuh, it's still script-kiddie gibberish ;)

I don't understand where the static comes from, though ...
did you tell lame to expect a raw-file, too, rather than
the default PCM?

Oh well :}

It worked in the end ;)

But fun as satire, yes?

Err, no. I just tried the command line you suggested and when that didnt work I read enough of the ogg123 man page to be able to do what I wanted and then wrote a perl script to do a batch conversion. I figure I saved a litle time since it takes less time to write two lines of perl than it does to read a man page

ogg --> mp3 --> ogg

m0rl0ck,

An alternate to Tinkster's command pipe is to use

normalize-mp3 --ogg *.mp3 (converting your mp3s --> ogg)
normalize-ogg --mp3 *.ogg (converting your oggs --> mp3)

Mostly when I'm converting it's because I didn't like something in the original rip (usually the NON-normalized volume.)

During oggenc it also seems to compress better when the source was encoded on a lousy encoder (xing comes to mind. Fast as blazes, but innaccurate with lots of audio artifacts) or with poor settings or poor original quality.

Of course, re-encoding from the original WAV is best, but for a quick-and-dirty normalize-and-encode, I like these scripts.

More details (including bitrate and other fussiness) in these man pages:

man normalize-mp3
man normalize-ogg
man normalize
