SoundConverter works great for batch conversions. It will convert multiple files at once to speed things up.

Opus is considered lossless at 128k VBR, so it will use less than half the space of the 320k MP3s.

Don't convert one lossy codec to another, it will just make it sound worse. You need to re rip them from the CDs or download them in FLAC.
