You can simply use the iTunes Software you have installed on your computer to convert your Wave File to a MP3 File.

Use Audacity Audio Editor to export as a MP3 File. Audacity Version 2.3.2 or later includes the MP3 Export Feature. Earlier versions of Audacity prior to version 2.3.2 require you to install the MP3 Export Software separate from the original installation.
