mpg123 script

Hi all. I recently attempted to create a script that would cat a list of mp3 files to mpg123, and then subsequently re-name the output files substituting in $i. For example, file1.wav. The 
script I had went something like:
#!/bin/bash
for textfile in `cat $1`; do
for i in
do
i+=1 #increment i by 1 for later substitution
done
mpg123 -@ $textfile -w file$i.wav
done
I then found that mpg123, upon being run with the script, said "./d: no such file or directory."
Is there even a way to substitute $i in the middle of a filename to reflect the value of i? I know how to do this in other languages, however Bash doesn't seem to provide a method of doing 
this. Btw I thought of writing the script in either C or Perl, however I thought that the simplicity of the task I was trying to accomplish didn't really justify the overhead. Anyone have any 
ideas on possibly modifying this script so that it would actually work? Thanks!
