It's called mp32ogg

I made a script that just played the mp3 to stdout and piped it to oggenc.

Naturally, I don't have that script at my disposal.

but I used mpg123 and oggenc to do the decoding/encoding.

Here's a quick-n-dirty script to convert them, with those two apps:

#!/bin/sh
FILES=`ls -1 *.mp3`
MP3DEC="mpg123"
OGGENC="oggenc"
for FILE in ${FILES}
do
        OGGNAME=`echo ${I} | sed "s/.mp3/.ogg/"`
        ${MP3DEC} -s ${I} | ${OGGENC} -r - -o  ${OGGNAME}
done

You can obviously change the location of the oggfiles being created
and such by tacking on a directory before ${OGGNAME}.
