Convert .wav to mp3

Hi,

I have to submit a voice recording in mp3 format for a language course that I'm following. I can make a recording in .wav format using a Philips audio player that I have and I can copy that to my SUSE box via one of the USB ports; but I've so far failed to find a way to convert the file to mp3 format.

I tried the following command in LAME (as recommended in the output from lame --help):

peter@linux:~> lame -V2 /home/peter/mp3/voice001.wav /home/peter/test.mp3

but got the following error message:

Unsupported data format: 0x0011

I know that the wav file is fine because I can play it in a variety of players (Amarok, vlc, kaffeine etc).

The version of lame that I'm using is:

LAME 64bits version 3.98 (http://www.mp3dev.org/)

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks


Peter
