How to convert ogg to mp3 ? (solved)

I have been trying to use pawdioconverter to convert some ogg files into mp3 files but it doesn't work. It goes thru the introduction and then says conversion is complete but it didn't change anything.
I use it all the time to change mp3 to ogg with no problem. I have tried to select the directory with my files in it and also a single file but it does the same thing.
Does anyone have any ideas about this or just a bash command would be fine with me?

I found that PawdioConverter does what you describe when it encounters spaces in the path to file(s). Try replacing all spaces in the path with _. You can always change them back later.

None of that worked. I am using 4.21 ttuuxxx no bling version with the default pawdio that came with it. I can't change from ogg to wav either.
As for spaces, a few of my songs had them but most of them didn't.
The readout of the results in the terminal window read:
Code: Select all
decoding 10-unknown.ogg to wav format
/usr/local/apps/media/pawdioconverter/pawdioconverterexec2: line 193: sox: command not found

I just used this to convert a few ogg samples to mp3.

You'd think that would be, ya know, included maybe.
Thanks trapster that was it.
Thanks to all who contributed.

It didn't even exist when 4.21 was released... I think it might be included in 4.3.

I stand corrected. It certainly did the trick for me. The 4.3 I downloaded from Puppylinux.org didn't have either sox or pawdioconverter.

Sorry, I didn't read read your post carefully enough.
I thought you meant woo-FF or pawdioconverter and sox should be included in Puppy, rather than that pawdioconverter should include sox. I think sox was included in some old puppy versions, so that's probably why it isn't. Personally I can't see a reason to justify including sox in Puppy, as the functionality seems to overlap with ffmpeg.
