Can anybody recommend some user friendly freeware for conversion of wav to
MP3 files?

For audio file format conversion: dbPowerAmp.

I also recommend MP3Tag to tag the files correctly after compressing them.

Yes.

LameDropXPd v2 :

You just drag and drop the files you want to encode.

For audio file format conversion: dbPowerAmp.

I don't think this is freeware anymore?

Probably the easiest to use for a newbie and the most user friendly:
Razorlame: http://www.dors.de/razorlame/screenshots.php
(good abandonware)

Somewhat more complex, and more versatile, alternative:
CDex: http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
(abandonware also?)

That's really easy! Thanks.

RazorLame is a front-end for use with LAME.

LAME is a great MP3-Encoder: it's very fast, it produces high-quality
files, has many advanced features (like Variable Bitrates and
Joint-Stereo), and it's open source.

It is a command line utility, and that is where RazorLame comes in: it
provides an easy-to-use graphical user-interface which makes
MP3-encoding even easier!

You can find more about LAME at http://www.mp3dev.org/
