Personally I don't like transcoding from MP3 to other formats because
of the quality loss. That said: you can do a lot with 'sox'

And if you want it in some format sox cannot deal with, you can always
convert first to wav/aiff/raw and convert again to your target format
with usually no additional quality loss.

Q: "What is the best way to determine the volume of a little red
ball."
A: Physicist: Measure the diameter, devide by two for radius and use
the formula 4/3 * PI * radius ^ 3
A: Chemist: Take a beaker, fill it with water. Dunk the ball in it,
and measure the amount of water displaced.
A: Engineer: It's easy, just pull out the "Little Red Ball" book and
look it up.
