Any method of recompressing data should always bring it to a
(relativley) uncompressed form first. I don't know a lot about compression but 
I'll start reading a book on it on Wednesday. Honest.

As a start - you'll need to fill in the command line args as I don't
know them:
#!/bin/perl
`mvs2wav $_ | lame > $_.mp3` foreach (@ARGV);
