Well, that would get to wav but then you need to get the wav to mp3.
I would recommend lame.  I forget the exact syntax and cmd line
options from here but a review of the man page can give you that.  You
can specify bit rates, stereo vs mono and all that.

Note the both ogg and mp3 are 'lossy' compression schemes so possible
quality loss is inevidable.  If done carefully, this loss can be kept
to a minimum by not cutting bit rates.  For true lossless compression,
I would suggest keeping stuff archived in .flac format.  On average,
.flac files can compress to about half the size of original wavs
without any loss.
