You already got a solution for your problem, I just want to make a 
suggestion:

Unless you are space constrained or the files are only intended for a 
device which has limited support for other formats you should encode to 
flac [0].

Even if you later realize you do need mp3 (or ogg or whatever other 
format) you can still convert them without worrying about the quality 
because flac is loss-less.

Thanks to Everyone, I was able to install the lame package right after 
upgrading my sources.list with the multimedia repository.

Add debian-multimedia to your /etc/apt/sources.list. More info can be 
found at http://debian-multimedia.org .

However I can't find 'lame' for Lenny. Could someone tell me where to

  This package is in the debian-multimedia repositories -- a bit
of googling should find you a nearby mirror, which you can add to 
your sources.list.

  It's been a while since I was current on this, but I believe 
they're excluded from the main repos due to patent and/or license
encumbrances.  If you care about such things, you might wish to 
encode to a more open format, like ogg.

You got some answers about debian-multimedia.  You can also compile
and install it. See:
