You can use applications like soundKonverter to do this for you in a
batch manner. There are also some scripts which are available which
can allow you to do this from within Amarok itself. I'd recommend
going with the standalone application though, it would be much more
reliable.

There are no plans to incorporate any of these sort of features into Amarok.
