Ogg Vorbis Converters
Function: Converts Ogg Vorbis files to MP3 files.
Author: James Sumners
Notes: These workflows are designed to be used as Finder plug-ins. They require the “vorbis-tools”, “lame”, and “sox” packages from DarwinPorts to function.
The first workflow, named “Ogg Vorbis to MP3(s)”, converts a single or multiple Ogg Vorbis files to a single or multiple MP3 files. The second workflow, “Ogg Vorbis many to one MP3″, converts multiple Ogg Vorbis files to a single, combined, MP3 named 00-Combined.mp3.
The first workflow is useful for general conversion. The second workflow is meant to be used in the situation where you have many Ogg Vorbis files, which should play back without gaps between them, that you want to put on a portable player that does not support “gapless” play back. Both workflows create the resulting MP3 files in the same folder as the source files.

I’d love the opposite - a mp3 to ogg converter. My palm pilot is my “ipod” and I can fit twice the oggs as mp3s, and it doesn’t play aac/mp4a.

Hey, thanks a bunch for making these scripts, they work great. I just wanted to give a quick tip. If you have installed the vorbis-tools, lame, and sox packages using Fink it is still possible for the scripts to work. Just change
/opt/local/bin/oggdecto/sw/bin/oggdec,/opt/local/bin/soxto/sw/bin/sox/, and/opt/local/bin/lameto/sw/bin/lame/. Hope that helps.– .paper

It has to convert them to wave before MP3. Do you have Lame installed?
port install lameand it should work fine. I am willing to bet that the workflow is failing because it can’t find the lame binary.Comment by James Sumners — June 24, 2005 @ 2:52 pm
hey, any reason it converts my files to WAV files instead of MP3?
