I know it's something like:

$ls $a | lame $a.mp3

if I end up with one.wav.mp3 no biggie, and speed doesn't matter, I'm just trying to get *some* automation.

   Why not:

   # for file in *.wav ; do lame -h $file `basename $file .wav`.mp3 ; done

This assumes that your file names do not contain spaces in them. Otherwise you'll have to wrap $file in quotes:

   ...do lame -h "$file" `basename "$file" .wav`.mp3 ...

The -h option after lame is just a suggestion. You obviously know what options you want to use.
