With sox? I though sox couldn't do mp3.
It's this a shell one-liner using find and lame and the approriate
shell expression to make the output filenames?

Graphical ways aren't usually the best solution to a batch problem.

OK I tried this. I came up with:
1) create a local shell script called conv containing these lines:
#!/bin/sh
echo converting $1 to ${1/\.wav/.mp3}
lame $1 ${1/\.wav/.mp3}
2) Make it executable:
$ chmnod +x conv
3) run find
find . -name "*.wav" -exec ./conv {} \;
All wav files in the local directory and its subdirectories will be
converted to mp3: the names will be the same with .wav changed to .mp3
It that's not exactly what you wanted, edit accordingly.
