How about transKode ?

One word of warning though. Converting audio files from one lossy format 
to another will slightly degrade the quality of the sound, how much 
depends on the files in question and the settings you use etc. etc., but 
*some* quality will be lost. I'm not saying don't do it, just beware. If 
you are only doing it to have everything neat and tidy in one format in 
your archive, then I would do a few tests first to be sure you are happy 
with the results ...
