ogg2mp3 utility?

[Tim Johnson]

I've written an application that does some audio file conversions.

I use mutagen for some of the mp3 file manipulation, but to convert
ogg files to mp3 format I've been using subprocess to run the
ogg2mp3 perl utility. (available from http://marginalhacks.com/) by
David Madison.

It's a "spot on" great app, but I would like to be able to "keep it
all one codebase".

Are there any python utility that anyone could recommend?

thanks

I've downloaded ogg2mp3.py (http://emptybits.com/ogg2mp3/ogg2mp3)
by Darren Stone http://bitmason.com, I've compared two
conversions.

Thus far, the perl utility produces a clearer playback, but I have
not yet played with the options available from the python script.

Both scripts rely on oggdec, ogginfo and lame.
On the mac available through macports, available on other *nixes as
well.

If anyone is interested, I'd welcome feedback on the python script
above and I will fiddle with it (not being an audio expert) to see
if I can get the playback improved.

I've looked at pymedia also. Have not tested it.

FYI.cheers
