Clamarc and I have been corresponding off-list...

I learned something:
  If you include SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ENABLEEXTENSIONS, then the exclamation point 
becomes poison. That's why the command script (aka batch program) failed if the MP3 had an 
exclamation point in its name.

You should be able to modify the simplified script below to suit your needs.

@ECHO OFF
CHCP 65001
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
FOR %%a IN (*.mp3) DO (
   FOR /F "tokens=1,* usebackq" %%b IN (`ffprobe -report -show_error -i "%%a" -v error -show_entries 
stream^=sample_rate -of default^=noprint_wrappers^=1:nokey^=1`) DO (
   ffmpeg -report -i "%%a" -map 0:0 -acodec mp3 -b:a 320k -ar:a 44100 "%%~na(was_%%b)%%~xa")
   )
)
GOTO :EOF


Note: For 'Cuidado!.mp3', "%%~na(was_%%b)%%~xa" adds "(was_48000)" to the name of the new MP3.
'Cuidado!.mp3' is 48000 samples/second
'Cuidado!(was_48000).mp3' is 44100 samples/second.
If you create the new MP3 in another (target) directory, you won't need "%%~na(was_%%b)%%~xa".
