Just myself and my girlfriend, and any other interested parties.

Here is the final version that I am going with for now.  I may have to
make some changes to it later, but it works for my needs now.  I will
include it here if anyone wants it.  I don?t recommend doing more then 2
- 4 files at once with it, though, because it runs each one in a
terminal for the time being?and GNOME Terminal does not seem to have a
--wait option to wait for its children to die and run them sequentially.
*shrugs*  (I rather like seeing the work being done?)  It requires
mpg123 (or mpg321) and oggenc to function properly.

#!/bin/bash

IFS="

for mp3file in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
  do

   echo "Processing file ${mp3file}?"
   file "$mp3file"
   if [ $? -eq 0 ];
    then
     NewMusicFileName=`echo $mp3file | sed 's/\.mp3/\.ogg/g;'`
     gnome-terminal -t "Encoding $mp3file to $NewMusicFileName" -x sh -c "mpg123 -w - \"$mp3file\" | oggenc - -o \"$NewMusicFileName\""
   fi
  done
