converting to ogg in mass
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 that would help with this issue it would be great!

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.

fastoggenc
A script I made for flac into opus and copys all metadata! Including
embedded artwork!
no --help. modify to your needs.
todo:
* add --help/-h
* only encode new files
can be modified to do vorbis. With Opus you get more music on your
laptop for same quarlty :) but Trisquel isn't up-to-date enough to
support opus :(.

avconv -i *.flac output.ogg
Install vorbis-tools package.
$sudo aptitude install vorbis-tools
To run simply do
$oggenc -q 5 *.flac
(replace quality 5 by preferred quality).
