Simplest and easiest way to convert wav and other sound files to mp3 for your mp3 player (being too expensive to be capable of playing standard ogg files), you simply do the following command line:

Convert wav sound to mp3 sound using lame
lame -b 320 inname.wav outname.mp3

The -b 320 ensures highest possible standard bit rate, that almost any mp3 player can decode.  This is not exactly studio quality, but will normally do fine for the common ear and equipment.
