For what it's worth (maybe it was already said), going from OGG->WAV
won't degrade quality at all since WAV is a lossless format.  Going then
from WAV->MP3 will incure some degredation as the MP3 compression is
again lossy (like OGG).

Also along the lines of KDE right-click plugin things, check out the
Perl Audio Converter script which has a Konqueror plugin that will
convert a whole bunch of stuff to a whole bunch of other stuff.  I can't
say for sure if it will do exactly what you want, but it's a cool app to
check out regardless.
