Question Help with 'batch conversion using lame' shell script

Hi.

I am trying to write an sh script that will:

1. take each wav file in ~/Documents
2. convert each into mp3 format using "lame" encoder
3. save the new mp3 in ~/Documents/newmp3s.

It has to follow the 3 steps in this order for each wav file before taking the next file.

I tried a for loop taken from another forum, but not only does the script still saves the new mp3 files in ~/Documents but the loop also doesn't end.

Any help would be much appreciated. Right now I'm using Audacity for manual conversion Smilie
