[Vorbis] Changing the bitrate (down) of an ogg file

[madsdyd at challenge.dk]

Hi.

Sorry if this is the wrong list - a pointer to the right would be 
appreciated.

I have a number of Ogg files, that have a VBR bitrate of approx. 256 kbps. 
I have bought a portabel Ogg player (iRiver iFP 795) that unfortunately 
only support bitrates up to approx. 225 kbps.

So my question is, if there is a tool to change the bitrate down to e.g. 
220 kbps. I know I can do this with sox, or by decoding to wav, then 
recoding, but I was looking for a tool that "knew" ogg, and perhaps could 
change the bitrate in an "optimal" way, that is, throwing away the least 
significant components of the encoded file, or whatever.

Running Linux only, btw.

Thanks in advance,

Mads

Oh well, all operating systems crash constantly right? This is normal, right? 
It has to be, Microsoft couldn't be so popular if their OS was so bad, could 
they?	   
  Yes they could, and they are. And if you fail to realize it, it's your own 
damn fault.
