Here's the simple solution:
cd /shared/music/albums
find . -name \*.ogg -print -exec sox {} {}.mp3 \;
This will take any file under /shared/music/albums and create an mp3
file with the same name plus a .mp3 extension. In other words,
/shared/music/albums/albumName/fred.ogg will still be there but so will
/shared/music/albums/albumName/fred.ogg.mp3. When it's finished you can
move them wherever you want and use rename to change the name from
*.ogg.mp3 to just .mp3 (although leaving it as .ogg.mp3 would at least
tell you that you've converted from one compressed format to another).
