Using the same paradigm as ChrisR's flac to mp3 command line script, I've done the same to convert ogg files to mp3s using command line tools.
You'll need to download and compile the vorbis player/encoder tools for everyone from vorbis.com. Its kind of tricky; you'll need to install libao2, libogg and libvorbis libraries using fink, then compile with the following:
Finally, here's the shell script that you can run in a directory full of .ogg files when you're ready for bed. Feel free to change any of the options in the lame converter, and see ChrisR's post for information about IDv3 tags with command line tools if you're interested.
