LAME .wav to.mp3 batch conversion

I am using lame to do .wav to .mp3 conversion
I have to do this -->

Quote:

lame -V input.wav output.mp3

But i have 1000 .wav files and all i need to do is using lame convert them all into .mp3 automatically by naming the mp3 the same.

How do I do it using command line or maybe by writing a script

Well from a command line...

Code:

for i in *.wav ; do
  echo $i
  b=`basename $i .wav`
  lame -V $i $b.mp3 
done

A little modification for filenames with SPACES

If your filenames have spaces then you have to make a little modification:

for i in *.wav ; do
echo $i
b=`basename "$i" .wav`
echo $b
lame --preset insane "$i" "$b.mp3"
done

The --preset insame makes lame convert in higher quality
