Is there an application out there that will allow me to convert flac files to ogg (I do not have enough to effectively compute and have flac on my laptop) but to convert them in mass as my library is a bit vast? I certainly do not want to covert it all by hand, so if anyone would post a tool

I like dir2ogg. It's a CLI application, good for large collections. For example, to convert all supported audio files in your music folder, to ogg with quality 8: $ dir2ogg -q 8 -n -r --convert-all /path/to/music_folder This preserves the original file. $ man dir2ogg to see all options.
