I'm using GW for the first time, and am having problems trying to convert .OGG 2 MP3.
It would be really helpful if you contact me on the following email address:

Kevin and others;
Goldwave is probably the best choice for this. Once you have gw installed you can press alt-f for file and down arrow to batch. Here you can pick from several files at a time or a whole directory including sub directories if you want. Tab to the save as format and choose your format. I'm assuming you will be converting ogg to mp3 like the subject says, so since you picked all your ogg files to convert you now pick the mp3 from the list to save to. The next tab is so you can pick the quality of the mp3 file. I believe the default is 44.1 khz 128 kbps stereo quality.
A note to remember is when converting from one format to another the file must be decompressed and recompressed. This results in some quality loss. If your ogg files are at q3 which is on average 112 kbps then I recommend saving them in mp3 form at a higher rate to try and lose as little quality as possible. In this example you would want to save as 128 kbps mp3. Even though the mp3 bitrate is highter than the ogg bitrate it does not mean you are really getting 128 kbps because it initially was at 112 kbps.
Once you pick the options you may want to control-tab and see the other options. The second tab control is for adding effects which I don't think you want to do with a simple file conversion. The third tab control is the folder to save your work in. By default it will save it in the same folder as the original files. You can choose another folder from here. The fourth and last tab control is the info tab. Here you can either leave all tag data the same or you can set it to something specific. Once you choose everything you want to do you tab to the begin button and press space. Leave your computer alone for a bit while it does it and bingo.
Hope this helps.
