Script to batch convert sound files

As Sound Converter now hangs for me in Xenial (since a few days), I wanted to write a bash script to simulate it:
I want to convert a few *.wav files in a directory specified by the variable wav_path to 'equivalent' mp3 files in an existing directory specified by mp3_path. I've got the following so far, though it's incorrect:
for i in "$wav_path"/*.wav;
do
lame -h -b 192 "$i" "$i%.wav.mp3"
done
What should I change this to?
bash

I've moved on a little. I'm now having problem with: for i in "$wav_path"/*.wav; do basename "$i" .wav lame -h -b 192 "$i" "$mp3_path/filename.mp3" done It should convert all .wav files in directory wav_path and put them as .mp3 files in directory mp3_path. It actually does e.g. Encoding wav/Track 14.wav to mp3/filename.mp3.

Finally got it working. Relevant code is:
for i in "$wav_path"/*.wav;
do
filename="$i##*/"
filename="$filename%.*"
lame -h -b 192 "$i" "$mp3_path"/"$filename".mp3
done
