Sorry for the noob question, I need to bulk replace strings taken from a list of files, I have found in the internet that the syntax is : %variable:StrToFind=NewStr%

FOR %%f IN (*.wav) DO (
    set "el = %%f"
    echo %el%
    echo %%f
    echo %%f:wav=mp3%
)

The output is, for file A.wav:

ECHO Disabled
A.wav
A.wav:wav=mp3

Obviously my intent is to produce A.mp3 What am I missing?
