I want python. Actually the flac->ogg is just a small part of it, it
also parses some xml and unzips/zips and stuff...

Hmmm...

Maybe what I need is knowledge of a free (beer) commandline tool under
windows and osx that can convert flac to ogg. Seems (now that I look)
that sox is available. Probably needs some tweeking of the os.system
call (that I can't really do by myself anyways, since I don't have those
OSs), but besides that, I'm almost where I'd like to be...

NB: I don't really have a problem with the user having to install python
(and sox) by themselves. My script checks if sox is available and
reports a clean error otherwise, so python is the only
tricky-for-newbies part missing...

Thanks for the help!
