## NAME

mp32ogg - Convert MP3 to Ogg Vorbis

## SYNOPSIS

**mp32ogg** \[*options*\] *files directories*...\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **mp32ogg** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**mp32ogg** is a program that converts MP3 files and directories to Ogg Vorbis.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-'). A summary of options is included below.

- **-h, --help**

- **--quality=\[-1..10\]**

  Set Ogg/Vorbis quality level. By default, set to the bitrate of original .mp3.

- **--delete**

- **--rename=format**

  Instead of simply replacing the .mp3 with .ogg for the output file, produce output filenames in this format, replacing %a, %t and %l with artist, title, and album name for the track

  Force lowercase filenames when using --rename

- **--verbose**

  Verbose output
