A review and useful tips here :

Converting a folder of music files to MP3 :
pacpl -t mp3 --bitrate 192 -r ./ --normalize --delete

This command will convert everything below the ./ current path and transcode every audio file (regardless of file type) into MP3 (-t mp3) at a bitrate of 192 (–bitrate 192). The -r will do this job recursively from the current directory. It will also normalize (–normalize) each file and then delete (–delete) the original source/input file.
