This will convert all *.amr files in the current directory - including subdirectories - to *.oga audio files. See the Linux manual pages "man bash", "man find", "man ffmpeg", "man oggenc" and "man sed".
You can setup sampling rate, volume and quality for the ogg vorbis audio files to your needs.
This will not work for paths with whitespace included.
for i in `find . -name '*.amr'`; do ffmpeg -i $i -f ogg -acodec libvorbis -ar 44100 -vol 256 -aq 3 `echo $i | sed -e 's/\.amr$/\.oga/'`; done
