I need to convert a bunch of flac files to ogg recursivly.

find . -name \*.flac | while read bach ; do ffmpeg -i "${bach}" (options for ffmpeg) "${bach/.flac/.ogg}" ; done

would work if there were no spaces in file names/directory names, but there are.
Any suggestions?

(Re-occurring reminder: It's nice to see you're able to tweak the living s__t out of your #vim, #zsh or whatever terminal-based tools you admire for your daily workflow. Maybe this will make you a Linux admin guru. And yet, you'll make a total fool out of yourself by failing to get along well with a remote Debian machine, being forced to use just a plain bash shell, vanilla vi and no permissions to install any additional software or extensions here. Know the basics. Period.)

Ahoy folks,

Iā€™m an just an #undergraduate #student of #physics, trying to set myself up to flirt with #astrophysics, with a weakness for and in #blackholes, though occassionaly ogling at her sister, #cosmology, but again pulled back to stare at #quasars through only my minds eye. Did I mention that I am #newhere? If not then, I should also mention that #instrumentation and #electronics too share alarge bit of my metaphorical heart, and I just love #interfacing; what's better, than to connect physical reality to a beast a.k.a a #computer? Well #micro-controllers? I just started using an #arduino, actually an #arduinouno ( #arduinounor3 ), currently learning programing and using it for small, if not infinitesimally small, if you can call them that is, #electronicsprojects; I will soon push myself to use an #expeyes. Yeah, #microcontrollers interest me, but, as much as do #microprocessors, #8085 being one, with which I've played a little, though only through simulations. I needn't shy away from stating that I love #programing, having some knowledge in #C, #C++, #java, a little bit of #fortran. I'm learning to #code or #script, whichever way you like, #python, rather it's newborn sibling, #python3. It's no need to say that my #operatingsystem of choice, use and love is a of course, a popular distribution of #linux, i.e. #xubuntu; #xfce is my and my PC's best bond of love, along with #bash and #zsh. I love watching #movies, especially heart-moving #warfilms, thought provoking #darkcomedies, saluted #satires, divinely appetizing #epics, #neoreals, that leave you speechless, and some more and more to come; I so love #shortfilms that I do wish to someday, #make one. Well, you may call me an amateur, but I am a #photographer, #photography, being one of my passtime passions, #astrophotography, being one of my dreams, not having been able to capture a proper one yet. I have only taken part in a few well-known #photowalks, spread through social-media.

You know, like me or not, I strongly believe in #foss, especially #fosss, being a #privacy and #security concerned person, if not a #customization freak, an embryo of a #hacker and of course a #linuxlover. If that seems a bit commonplace, well it is, then I also happen to be a fan of a #marsrover; ah! #mars or Jasoom, call it what may, it's lovely. But lovelier are the #rovers that graze on it's surface. I so wish that I had a pet #quadcopter alongside my late pet #cat. Cool is the only word I can have for #robots; ah! #robotics, what a sweet art art thou. Though a little sweeter would be #cognition, whose daughter #ai is a sweet child, I wish was mine. Can #intelligence be #artificial? Or is it just another #random #oxymoron, that a #language is filled with, that #linguistics deals with? Or maybe I'm just writing a #microtale. But then, #microtales are so lovely. Be it in #english or #bengali, rather #bangla, or #hindi or #german; though for #deutsch I still need a dictionary. At least #scrabble and #hangman are still in english for me. But yes, I just happened to fall in love with #html5 and #markdown.
