If your .wav files are in a directory named "/home/dan/music", then
the easiest way for you may be to do this:
cd /home/dan/music
lame song.wav song.mp3
You could also do it this way:
lame /home/dan/music/song.wav /home/dan/music/song.mp3
Here are some of the basic examples from the lame(1) man page:
EXAMPLES
Fixed bit rate jstereo 128kbs encoding:
lame sample.wav sample.mp3
Fixed bit rate jstereo 128 kbps encoding, highest quality (recom-
mended):
lame -h sample.wav sample.mp3
Fixed bit rate jstereo 112 kbps encoding:
lame -b 112 sample.wav sample.mp3
To disable joint stereo encoding (slightly faster, but less quality at
bitrates <= 128 kbps):
lame -m s sample.wav sample.mp3
Fast encode, low quality (no psycho-acoustics):
lame -f sample.wav sample.mp3
Variable bitrate (use -V n to adjust quality/filesize):
lame -h -V 6 sample.wav sample.mp3
