pipe ls to lame syntax

I can't find an example to work from, so I'll just ask.

In a directory I have some .wav files which I'd like to en-masse turn into 
mp3's.

$ls
one.wav two.wav three.wav

$lame one.wav one.mp3
...


I know it's something like:

$ls $a | lame $a.mp3

if I end up with one.wav.mp3 no biggie, and speed doesn't matter, I'm just 
trying to get *some* automation.


thanks,

Thufir
