No idea what that means, sorry.

Thank you for that, I forgot to mention that I need to do it in a batch
so I created a script and that some of the original file names have a
space in them.
-- ogg2mp3 start --
#!/bin/sh
DECODER=/usr/bin/oggdec
ENCODER=/usr/bin/lame
RENAME=/usr/bin/rename
$RENAME 'y/\ /_/' *
for file in *.ogg
do
$DECODER --quiet -o - $file | $ENCODER -b 64 - ~/music/$1/$file
done
$RENAME 'y/_/\ /' *
$RENAME 's/ogg/mp3/' ~/music/$1/*.ogg
-- ogg2mp3 end --
That resamples the OGG's to MP3's using "24kHz 64kbps j-stereo", the
quality isn't great but it is good enough for when I am walking around
or riding my bike listening on the headphones they supplied with the
phone.
I just turned my phone into the MP3 player with the most battery life :)
