hmm tcsh, tough, i didnt ever use it.
If you want to go with ksh tho, i ll use something like this
=================
tgt is the target dir

for i in *
do
newf=`find . -name $i -newer "../tgt/$i"`
if [ "x$newf" != "x" ]
then
cp $newf ../tgt/$i
fi
done

hope this gives you some pointers

NAME
soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats SYNOPSIS
soundconverter [options] [file...] DESCRIPTION
soundconverter is a simple tool for converting sound files to other formats. It can work from the command line, but is really meant for interactive use in the GNOME environment. OPTIONS
-h, --help Print out a usage summary. -b, --batch Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface. You can use this from, say, shell scripts. -m, --mime-type arg Set the output MIME type for batch mode. The default is audio/x-vorbis. Note that you probably want to set the output suffix as well. -q, --quiet Be quiet. Don't write normal output, only errors. -d, --debug Print additional debug information. -s, --suffix arg Set the output filename suffix for batch mode. The default is .ogg. Note that the suffix does not affect the output MIME type. -t, --tags Show tags for input files instead of converting them. This indicates command line batch mode and disables the graphical user inter- face. -j, --jobs= Force number of concurent conversions. Default is one per present CPU. AUTHOR
