converting batches in sox

Hi I just posted this message to the audacity forum and got sent here so I'm wondering if anyone can help my predicament.

"I'm using audacity 2.0 with OSX 10.7.4. I have 36,000 audio bin files (from a hydrophone) I need to convert to wav. Audacity works but I need a faster way of doing this. I want the file names to stay the same but when I import the bin file I have to change the sample rate from 44.1khz to 88.2 kHz and then I am also using a template for the meta data I want to keep the date of each recording. There are about a hundred in each date so I could do batches of around that size. It takes about 30 sec for each file so if I don't find a faster way of doing this it's going to take me around 300 hours which is ridiculous. please help!"

Thanks!
