Thanks a lot once again, David :)

I definitely need a few hours of sleep now.
I'll hit the files tomorrow again.

Good point.

You're not making me try to remember things are you?

The same way that I was reminded that "EXEC CMS ERASE" is not equivalent
to "ERASE CMS EXEC". It's amazing how quickly you can hit PA1 while
muttering vile imprecations.

I try, or I'm very trying, depending on who you ask.

I posted a version that does support recursive conversions in the
"web development preferences", although I wrote that one in PHP rather
than bash script. Here's another version of that script, but one that
will work through multiple directories. Again, it's in PHP, and this
time it properly capitalises the words in the file name:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
/*
* this is designed to run as a shell script. don't run it via a web server
*/

// build an array of paths to convert using either paths passed on the
// command line, or create an array containing only the current directory
//
$paths=array(getcwd());
if($argc>1) // if there's any paths passed
$paths=array_slice($argv,1); // replace CWD with them

$count=0;

foreach($paths as $source_dir)
{
$files=array();
exec("find '".$source_dir."' -type f -name '*.ogg'",$files);

if($files===FALSE) // none found
die("Nothing to convert.\n"); // so quit

foreach($files as $file)
{

// skip unreadable files
//
if(!(is_readable($file)))
continue;

// change '_' to ' ' and upper-case the initial letter of all the words
//
$name=ucwords(str_replace("_"," ",basename($file,"ogg")));

// construct the output filename
//
$output=dirname($file)."/".$name."mp3";

// bit of feedback while doing the conversion
// lets the user know the script hasn't crashed
//
printf("Converting %s\n",$file);

// then get sox to do the conversion
//
passthru("sox '".$file."' '".$output."'",$ret_val);

// if sox converts the file successfully
//
if(!$ret_val)
{
// unlink($file); // delete the original
$count++;
}
}
}

// and finally say just how many files were really converted.
//
die("Converted ".$count." files\n");
?>

The above should handle that although you will need to either escape
spaces or wrap the paths in quotes. Again, just to be sure it works for
you, do a test run with the unlink($file) commented out. Once you're
sure it works, remove the '//' from the beginning of the line.
