Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't I just end up with with a bunch of
files named blahblah.wav.mp3?

So now we have to strip stuff out of the filename which involves at least
a call to cut (properly escaped, of course). Meh, even simple examples in
shell should be avoided.
It has nothing to do with shell, python, perl or what ever. You would
still have rename the file extention:
for FILE in *wav ; do lame -h -b 160 "$FILE" "`echo $FILE |sed
s/.wav/.mp3/g ` " ; done
