I wrote a perl script to do this that uses lame and oggdec.  It relies
on the music directory being in the format
artist/album/trackno-trackname and puts all the music into a flat
directory with names like artist-album-trackno-trackname, but it could
be modified to recreate the directory structure pretty easily.

I take no responsibility for anything this code does or doesn't do or
assumptions I made based on my setup/preference.  The code is fairly
crappy.  There's no documentation.  But it might set you on the path.
