A way to reduce vorbis bitrates?

I just got an Iriver 795 and need to reduce the bitrates of a lot of my Vorbis files. I know that "peelers" don't work very well yet, so a convenient way to mass re-encode .ogg files to a given bitrate would be great. Preserving metadata would also be important.

Thanks in advance!

I too bought a iriver (799) and it seems like the bitrate will have to be between 96-225Kbps, i'm quite mad at iriver for this. But since the iriver is for my girlfriend and i'm using an iAudio X5 (exelent player btw) which plays any ogg. i need to edit the files that i encoded for my player to fit her player. so far i'v been using:

SoundKonverter?

I borrowed someone's ebuild and updated it... http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29024

Peeling is unfortunately a long way from being useable, and existing vorbis files may not work with it. (Even though that's a requirement of the bounty.)
