Hello list;
  I recently burned an audio CD with mp3 files.
My portable player played the first few tracks then barfed.
I *know* that all the files are mp3 so was surprised.
Upon investigation it turns out that soem of them were .ogg instead.
I used konqueror to convert them and chose .mp3 but got .ogg

[root@localhost ive_been_thinking_about_you]# ls -l *.mp3

When I run 'file' I get:

[root@localhost ive_been_thinking_about_you]# file *.mp3

I have a lot of directories that *should* be .mp3.
How do I get 'file' to pickout the .ogg files?
Also how to convert them to .mp3?

Is this a bug in konqueror?

Don't know about Konqueror, but I wouldn't advise converting from .ogg to .mp3. You're talking about converting from one lossy compression format to another, and the losses are taken in different spots, so the quality will /really/ suffer. Best to re-rip and make /sure/ you're ripping to mp3.

PS: If it turns out that you got the files, labeled as mp3, from another source, then the above doesn't apply, obviously.

Which brings me to another obvious question: Does anyone make portable players that can play .ogg instead of/in addition to .mp3?
