Hmmm. Try "lame --decode yourFile.mp3" (make sure it has mp3 extension).

In the current directory

Yes (as the output of the file command you showed, they seem like MP3s ).  
Maybe K3 decides what to do with the files based on extension. Try that.

I suggest you install this tool called "mediainfo" which will give you details 
about any media file:

http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download

There are some RPMs there for Fedora 13 (they should work on Fedora 14).  
You'll need to install first the other two packages (which are also there): 
libmediainfo0 and libzen0.

Once you have mediainfo installed:

mediainfo yourFile.wav

and it will tell you the details about it (if it's an mp3, bit-rate, channels 
etc...).
