Counting files of a particualr type

I am pretty sure there is an easier way to do this but this is how I done it the first time.

find ./ -name "*.ogg" -print | perl -wne '$i++; END{print "$i\n"}'

I then thought about it a bit and came up with

find ./ -name "*.ogg" -print | xargs ls | wc -l

now that is much neater ;) but wait, we don't need the "xargs ls"

find ./ -name "*.ogg" -print | wc -l

I then thought about doing it this way

ls -R | grep ".ogg" | wc -l

I'm going to leave it there ;)
