for a in *.wav; do lame $a `echo $a | sed 's/\(.*\)wav$/\1mp3/'`; done

This one should work as long as your *.wav file names don't contain spaces etc.

For reference, here is a mpp->ogg one-liner that handles those too:

ls -Q *.mpc | sed 's/\(.*\)\.mpc\(.*\)/\$HOME\/bin\/mppdec \1.mpc\2 - | oggenc -o \1.ogg\2 -/' | sh
