Convert WAV to MP3 on LINUX 0 0

I wanted to convert WAV audio files to MP3 format on my Gentoo Linux system. My little Mustek camera has an option for recording audio. The format is WAV. I wanted to convert these files to MP3 so I could upload them onto the Web and stream them in music players. A search on Google for "linux wav mp3 convert" brought me to this WAV and MP3 page, which directed me to use the bladeenc application.

I didn't have bladeenc on my Gentoo Linux system. That problem was solved easily. As the root user, I executed:

emerge bladeenc

The program was installed, and I was able to convert my WAV files into MP3 files using this command:

bladeenc audioFile.WAV audioFile.mp3
