As someone else suggested, you want /usr/ports/audio/vorbis-tools.  I
wrote a brief how-to for ripping from audio CD to Ogg Vorbis:

http://logicsquad.net/freebsd/audio-rip-how-to.html

It includes automatic download of the track list, transforming the XML
received and adding the appropriate metadata to each track.  It could
be automated further---suggestions welcome.

There will be data loss in converting from mp3 to ogg format because mp3 is 
already using lossy compression.  You want to ogg the original source data, 
although a 44.1 KHz .wav file is basicly raw PCM audio plus a header, anyway.

Anyway, look for something called sox, which is a good sound format converter 
utility.

Ogg encoding

2003-09-14 Thread Todd Stephens
I found a port for mp32ogg to convert mp3 to ogg format, but is there a 
program to convert wav to ogg format?  I like the ogg format, but it 
seems to me that there will be some data loss going from wav to mp3 and 
then to ogg.
