Reading the tar manual:

    tar {-r | -u} -f archive-file [options] [files | directories]

    -O      (x, t modes only) In extract (-x) mode, files will be written to
             standard out rather than being extracted to disk.

So:    tar vxzOf rob.tgz /dirpath/rob.wav | lame - rob.mp3

and then lose the v option because you know that it works.
